Stopping the NIS+ Daemon

To stop the NIS+ daemon, whether it is running in normal or NIS-compatibility mode, kill it as you would any other daemon: first find its process ID, then kill it:

rootmaster# ps -e | grep rpc.nisd
root 1081 1 61 16:43:33 ? 0:01 rpc.nisd -S 0
root 1087 1004 11 16:44:09 pts/1 0:00 grep rpc.nisd
rootmaster# kill 1081
