#/etc/init.d/nfsserver restart

.After this now i am facing command not found problem for few commands like clear, make, etc....

PATH is one of the bash environment variables. If you changed your PATH variable, the the path to the commands you want to use is no longer in the search path. You will have to add the path to those commands back into your PATH variable.

Note that the commands will still work if you give the full path to the executable file in the command line.

Hello

Check the file permition with

Code:

ll /etc/init.d/nfsserver

if not set to execute (something like this)

Code:

-rw-------  1 root     root ...

Change the rights over ntfsserver

Code:

 chmod u+x /etc/init.d/nfsserver

Oh and one more thing you need to be root.

Good Luck
