NFS mount for TQM823L

Do you mean that it is sleeping instead of suspended?
In the STAT column of ps, a 'S' means 'sleeping'.
Look at the 'ps' man pages.

I think you are right.

Be sure that the file '/etc/services' in the target includes the following
entries:
  sunrpc   111/tcp   portmapper   # RPC 4.0 portmapper TCP
  sunrpc   111/udp   portmapper   # RPC 4.0 portmapper UDP

Also, be sure you have the file '/etc/rpc' present in the target.

This is a script, so it does not need to be compiled.
The only thing you need is the interpreter (first line in the script).
That script invokes the Bourne Shell (usually accomplished by bash).
The script should be invoked at the command line, giving it a parameters.
Valid parameters are: start, stop, restart, reload and status.
