Starting / Stopping / Restarting named:

To start, stop, or restart the named on the H-Sphere DNS server, log in as root and execute the following command. Please don't use the kill -9 command to stop the named daemon, it may cause information loss!!!
Linux:

starting: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start
stopping: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named stop
restarting: /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

FreeBSD:

starting: /usr/sbin/named -u named
stopping: /usr/sbin/ndc stop -u named
restarting: /usr/sbin/ndc restart -u named

Warning: Without "-u named", the command will run under root.

Usually, an H-Sphere DNS server contains a cron DNS check which starts every 1 or 2 minutes and, if named is not started, starts it. Therefore, don't feel alarmed if you stop named and see that it keeps working for another several minutes.
