All available options are described in the online :doc:`manual page <../manpages/pdnsutil.1>` as well as in ``man pdnsutil``. -The SysV init script --------------------- - -This script supplied with the PowerDNS source accepts the following -commands: - -- ``monitor``: Monitor is a special way to view the daemon. It executes - PowerDNS in the foreground with a lot of logging turned on, which - helps in determining startup problems. Besides running in the - foreground, the raw PowerDNS control socket is made available. All - external communication with the daemon is normally sent over this - socket. While useful, the control console is not an officially - supported feature. Commands which work are: ``QUIT``, ``SHOW *``, - ``SHOW varname``, ``RPING``. -- ``start``: Start PowerDNS in the background. Launches the daemon but - makes no special effort to determine success, as making database - connections may take a while. Use ``status`` to query success. You - can safely run ``start`` many times, it will not start additional - PowerDNS instances. -- ``restart``: Restarts PowerDNS if it was running, starts it - otherwise. -- ``status``: Query PowerDNS for status. This can be used to figure out - if a launch was successful. The status found is prefixed by the PID - of the main PowerDNS process. -- ``stop``: Requests that PowerDNS stop. Again, does not confirm - success. Success can be ascertained with the ``status`` command. -- ``dump``: Dumps a lot of statistics of a running PowerDNS daemon. It - is also possible to single out specific variable by using the - ``show`` command. -- ``show variable``: Show a single statistic, as present in the output - of the ``dump``. -- ``mrtg``: Dump statistics in mrtg format. See the performance - :ref:`counters` documentation. - -.. note:: - Packages provided by Operating System vendors might support - different or less commands. - Running in the foreground ------------------------- -- 2.47.2
