RHEL / CentOS: Shell Script Wrapper TO Start / Stop / Restart NFSv4 Services In A Particular Order

A simple shell script wrapper to start / stop / restart NFSv4 service on CentOS / RHEL v.6.x server in a particular order. This script also demonstrates how to use the ln command to create soft links to the same script and take a different action as per $0.

## Run either server or client script with the following action:

	exit 0
}

[ $# -eq 0 ] && usage 

## Main logic
case $_me in
	nfs.server) runme "$_server" "$_action" ;;
	nfs.client) runme "$_client" "$_action" ;;

How do I use this script?

Download and install the script nfs.rc in ~/bin/:
chmod +x nfs.rc ln -s nfs.rc nfs.server ln -s nfs.rc nfs.client
To start / stop / restart nfsv4 server services in a single go:
# ~/bin/nfs.server stop # ~/bin/nfs.server status # ~/bin/nfs.server start # ~/bin/nfs.server restart
To start / stop / restart nfsv4 clients in a single go, enter:
# ~/bin/nfs.client stop # ~/bin/nfs.client start # ~/bin/nfs.client restart # ~/bin/nfs.client status
Sample outputs:

rpcbind (pid  2379) is running...
rpc.idmapd (pid 7410) is running...
rpc.statd (pid  2397) is running...

rpcbind (pid 2379) is running...

rpc.idmapd (pid 7410) is running...

rpc.statd (pid 2397) is running...
