NFS applications and control
The NFS and NIS daemons are controlled by the System Resource Controller (SRC).
This means you must use SRC commands such as startsrc, stopsrc, and lssrc to start, stop, and check the status of the NFS and NIS daemons.
Some NFS daemons are not controlled by the SRC; specifically, rpc.rexd, rpc.rusersd, rpc.rwalld, and rpc.rsprayd are not controlled by the SRC. These daemons are started and stopped by the inetd daemon.
The following table lists the SRC-controlled daemons and their subsystem names.
