named.restart script 1

[menace212]

Does anyone have a sample script for restarting named automatically. Getting the PID, killing it and then restarting /usr/sbin/named???

 

[PHV]

Normally, a SIGHUP signal force named to reread this configuration file and reload the database.
Try something like this:

pid=`ps -e | awk '$NF=="named"{print $1}'`
[ -n "$pid" ] && kill -1 $pid

Hope This Help
PH.

Depending on your OS it could be pretty easy:

AIX: "stopsrc -s named;startsrc -s named"
Linux: "service named restart"

In other cases using run level entries it can be done using the entry in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ (or wherever your init.d dir lives) : "named restart"
