How to restart BIND on Solaris 9?

noir911 · 01-02-2008, 01:50 AM

How does one go about restarting Bind on Solaris 9? I made some changes in the named.conf file and need to restart named. I cannot find rndc command in root's path but noticed that there are two named related commands: named-bootconf and named-xfer.

I come from Linux background and this is not something common in Linux.

Could someone please shed some light on how to restart named/bind on Solaris 9?

Thanks.

Try:

Code:

kill -HUP $(pgrep bind)

The daemon name is named, so the command posted by jlliagre should be:

Code:

kill -HUP $(pgrep named)

Absolutely. Thanks for correcting that !
