To shutdown bind10, I understand that I can log into bindctl and issue the "Boss shutdown" command. Can you recommend a way to do this noninteractively in the proposed initialization script? Thanks.

kill (with SIGTERM) the bind10 ("boss") process should have the same
affect as 'Boss shutdown' via bindctl.  So, if you create a PID file
for it, do "kill `cat ${pid_file}`" in the script should work.
