" Shutting down NFS mountd: /etc/init.d/nfs: line 100: killproc: command not found

Shutting down NFS daemon: /etc/init.d/nfs: line 103: killproc: command not found

Check your startup script, verify that you have this line at the start of the /etc/init.d/nfs script:

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

hi,

The intimated line is present in the script.....

[Ivan Ferreira]

Can you upload your /etc/init.d/nfs and /etc/init.d/functions files?

hi,

Pls find enclosed the files you had requested for.. Bow while staring the nfs ervice i get a new error

" [root@ipl002dor etc]# service nfs start
Starting NFS services: OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Inval
d argument
rpc.rquotad: unable to register (RQUOTAPROG, RQUOTAVERS, udp).
FAILED]
Starting NFS daemon:"

I also need the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions.

It looks like NFS is trying to start before the portmap service. Ensure that the portmap service is started before NFS services.

Edit your /etc/init.d/nfs file and change the chkconfig line:

# chkconfig: - 60 20

To look like this:

# chkconfig: - 90 20

Then run:

chkconfig portmap on
service portmap start
chkconfig nfs off
chkconfig nfs on
service nfs start

hi.

did as suggested but still the same issue.

[Alexander Chuzhoy]

Your nfs file looks OK.

the killproc command is a function that resides in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file
can you post it here also?

You can also reinstall with force parameter the initscripts-7.14-1 RPM (comes on installation CD). This RPM installs the functions file.
Hope it helps.

please check if portmap is running:

ps -ef|grep portm
