NAME

sig_named — send signals to the domain name server

SYNOPSIS

sig_named [kill|restart]

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).

AUTHOR

sig_named was developed by HP.
