import of 4.9.3. This man page was produced by sed from the real version before import, but I didn't have much choice.. This is needed to enable the ndc target to complete a "make install"

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This command allows the name server administrator to send various signals
|
|
to the name server, or to restart it. Zero or more directives may be given,
|
|
from the following list:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B status
|
|
Displays the current status of
|
|
.B named
|
|
as shown by
|
|
.BR ps (1).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B dumpdb
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to dump its database and cache to
|
|
.B /var/tmp/named_dump.db
|
|
(uses the INT signal.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B reload
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to check the serial numbers of all primary and secondary zones
|
|
and to reload those that have changed (uses the HUP signal.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B stats
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to dump its statistics to
|
|
.B /var/tmp/named.stats
|
|
(uses the IOT or ABRT signal.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B trace
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to increment its ``tracing level'' by one. Whenever the tracing level
|
|
is nonzero, trace information will be written to
|
|
.BR /var/tmp/named.run .
|
|
Higher tracing levels result in more detailed information.
|
|
(Uses the USR1 signal.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B notrace
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to set its ``tracing level'' to zero, closing
|
|
.B /var/tmp/named.run
|
|
if it is open (uses the USR2 signal.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B querylog
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to toggle the ``query logging'' feature, which while on will result in a
|
|
.BR syslog (3)
|
|
of each incoming query (uses the WINCH signal.) Note that query logging
|
|
consumes quite a lot of log file space. This directive may also be given as
|
|
.BR qrylog .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B start
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to be started, as long as it isn't already running.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B stop
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to be stopped, if it is running.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B restart
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B named
|
|
to be killed and restarted.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Arguments to
|
|
.B named
|
|
are not preserved by
|
|
.BR restart ,
|
|
or known by
|
|
.BR start .
|
|
Some mechanism for controlling the parameters and environment should exist.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Implemented as a
|
|
.BR sh (1)
|
|
script.
