On one of our servers we've decided not to run nfsd, however, we're apparently
stuck for the time being because we can't back it up directly either.  So, 
does anyone know of a way to autostart and autoshutdown nfsd via some
command - and if so what would it look like (we're new at this).  
Our plan would be to bring nfsd up, back it up to another server across the LAN 
that has a tape drive and then auto shut-down nfsd.  Any help would be 
appreciated.
