named won't restart

[Steve Arntzen]

Is it possible named was killed and restarted without
the /etc/init.d/named script?

The script looks up the process ID from /var/run/bind/run/named.pid (on
Debian) and if the PID doesn't match, the script can't stop named.

You can cat /var/run/bind/run/named.pid and compare the PID to what you
see in the process table.  If you stop bind and restart it with the init
script the PID should match and "restart" should work after that.

Steve.
