Mine does:   start-stop-daemon --stop --name nfsd
...thus sending signal 15 (terminate) to the nfsd processes. Not sure what 
INT does to nfsd.

It's called nfs-kernel-server because it communicates with the kernel NFS 
moduels, but it's a userspace issue nonetheless, methinks:

  https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs 

(I justed tested it: kill -INT ends the nfsd processes, but I'm not sure 
if graceful or not...)

HTH,
