NAMED.RESTART(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NAMED.RESTART(8) NNAAMMEE named.restart - stop and restart the name server DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN This command sends a SIGKILL to the running name server and then starts a new one. BBUUGGSS Does not check to see if the name server is actually run- ning, and could use a stale PID cache file which may result in the death of an unrelated process. Does not wait after killing the old server before starting a new one; since the server could take some time to die and the new one will experience a fatal error if the old one isn't gone by the time it starts, you can be left in a situation where you have no name server at all.
