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 auto shutdown nfsd via some
command? and if so what would it look like (we're new to this).  
Our plan would be to bring up nfsd, 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.
