How to correctly invoke BIND from init.d ?

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Hi!

Since I've migrated from BIND-4.9.7 to 8.2.2 b4, I'd like to know the
correct way of invoking named at boottime. 
Right now /sbin/init.d/named is being invoked. 

This script uses:

for starting:

	if [ "$NAMED" -eq 1 -a -x /usr/sbin/named ]; then
		/usr/sbin/named $NAMED_ARGS && echo "named  \c"
                # shouldn't I rather use ndc ??
		set_return
		if [ $rval -ne 0 ]; then
			echo "Error in starting named. Recommend checking the"
			echo "syslog file (usually /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log)"
			echo "for possible reasons."
		fi
	else
		if [ ! -x /usr/sbin/named ]; then
		    echo "/usr/sbin/named is not executable"
		    rval=1
		else
		    rval=2
		fi
	fi
	;;

'stop')

# shouldn't I rather use ndc stop ??

	if [ -f /etc/rc.config ] ; then
		. /etc/rc.config
		else
		echo "ERROR: /etc/rc.config defaults file MISSING"
	fi

	#
	# Determine PID of process(es) to stop
	#
	if [ "$NAMED" -ne 1 ]; then
	    rval=2
	else
	    if [ -r /var/run/named.pid ]; then
		if  kill `cat /var/run/named.pid` ; then
			rm /var/run/named.pid
			echo "named stopped"
		else
			rval=1
			echo "Unable to stop named"
		fi
	    else
		rval=1
		echo "Unable to stop named (no pid file)"
	    fi
	fi
	;;

*)
	echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
	rval=1
	;;
esac

exit $rval
