It depends - do you have an init.d script for cvsd?
Code:
# ls /etc/init.d/*cvs*

If so, call the script with a "stop" argument, e.g.
Code:
# /etc/init.d/cvsd stop

If not, you may just have to kill cvsd (make sure you note the path and any arguments in case a control script doesn't exist)
Code:
# pargs `pgrep cvsd`
# pkill cvsd
# ps -ef | grep '[c]vsd' && pkill -9 cvsd

Then backup the CVSROOT
Code:
# tar cvf /path/to/backup.tar /path/to/cvsroot

Then start cvsd again with the init.d script, or using /path/to/cvsd plus any arguments (cvsd on my box isn't called with args...)

Cheers

cvsd

cvsd(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   cvsd(8)

NAME

       cvsd - chroot wrapper to run 'cvs pserver' more securely.

SYNOPSIS

       cvsd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       cvsd is a wrapper program for cvs in pserver mode. it will run 'cvs pserver' under a special uid/gid in a chroot jail.

       cvsd  is  run  as a daemon and is controlled through a configuration file (see cvsd.conf(5) ). It is relatively easy to configure and tools
       are provided for easily setting up a chroot jail (see cvsd-buildroot(8) ) and managing repositories (see cvsd-passwd(8) ).

       See the README for more information and details to setting up a chroot jail and repositories.

OPTIONS

       cvsd accepts the following options:

       -f, --config=FILE
	      Use FILE as configfile (default is /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf).

       -d, --debug
	      Enable debugging mode.  cvsd will not put itself in the background and sends verbose  debugging  info  to  stderr.   Otherwise  cvsd
	      handles connections as usual.  This option is for debugging purposes only.

       --help Display short help and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Output version information and exit.

SEE ALSO

       cvsd.conf(5) cvsd-buildroot(8) cvsd-passwd(8)

FILES

       /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf - the configuration file (see cvsd.conf(5) )
