NNAAMMEE
nnddcc - name daemon control interface
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
nnddcc _d_i_r_e_c_t_i_v_e [_._._.]
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
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:
ssttaattuuss Displays the current status of named(8) as shown by ps(1).
dduummppddbb Causes nnaammeedd to dump its database and cache to
_/_v_a_r_/_t_m_p_/_n_a_m_e_d___d_u_m_p_._d_b (uses the INT signal.)
rreellooaadd Causes nnaammeedd to check the serial numbers of all primary and
secondary zones and to reload those that have changed (uses the
HUP signal.)
ssttaattss Causes nnaammeedd to dump its statistics to _/_v_a_r_/_t_m_p_/_n_a_m_e_d_._s_t_a_t_s
(uses the IOT or ABRT signal.)
ttrraaccee Causes nnaammeedd to increment its ``tracing level'' by one. When-
ever the tracing level is nonzero, trace information will be
written to _/_v_a_r_/_t_m_p_/_n_a_m_e_d_._r_u_n. Higher tracing levels result in
more detailed information. (Uses the USR1 signal.)
nnoottrraaccee Causes nnaammeedd to set its ``tracing level'' to zero, closing
_/_v_a_r_/_t_m_p_/_n_a_m_e_d_._r_u_n, if it is open (uses the USR2 signal.)
qquueerryylloogg Causes nnaammeedd to toggle the ``query logging'' feature, which
while on will result in a syslog(2) of each incoming query (us-
es the WINCH signal.) Note that query logging consumes quite a
lot of log file space. This directive may also be given as
qqrryylloogg.
ssttaarrtt Causes nnaammeedd to be started, as long as it isn't already run-
ning.
ssttoopp Causes nnaammeedd to be stopped, if it is running.
rreessttaarrtt Causes nnaammeedd to be killed and restarted.
BBUUGGSS
Arguments to nnaammeedd are not preserved by rreessttaarrtt, or known by ssttaarrtt.
Some mechanism for controlling the parameters and environment should ex-
ist.
Implemented as a sh(1) script.
