NAME
sig_named — send signals to the domain name server
DESCRIPTION
sig_named
sends the appropriate signal to the domain name server
/usr/sbin/named.
The process ID
is obtained from
/var/run/named.pid
or from the
ps
command (see
ps(1))
if
/var/run/named.pid
does not exist.
Operands
sig_named
recognizes the following operands:
- kill
Kill the name server process.
- restart
Signal the name server to reload its database.
Previous Functionality
The
sig_named
command shipped with earlier versions of BIND was used to dump the database,
to set debug levels, and to obtain
named
statistics.
You can use the
rndc
utility for that purpose instead.
See
rndc(1).
