 	There is a sample rc script in the distribution in contrib/rc/nasd 
.  Hopefully that should provided the functionality you need.

 	I haven't seen the server crash in a *long* time... You can run 
nasd with something like 'nasd -v -d 99' which will turn on maximum 
debugging (and output to stderr).  Normally the log entries go into 
syslog, so check out /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.
