How to gracefully shutdown bind10 noninteractively

[Spain, Dr. Jeffry A.]

> Note that at some point we'll probably support a more traditional configuration-file based mode of operation for people that really need it, but have not yet implemented it. Also this will miss some of the flexibility of BIND 10, so hopefully we can encourage people to use the "native" configuration mechanisms.

Although I am just beginning to familiarize myself with bind10, I don't think a lack of support for SIGHUP would be problematic. I also think that the native configuration mechanism will be even more useful when you have implemented syntax such as "bindctl [ --user=<user> --password=<password> ] <module> <command> [ <parameters> ]". That you may be going in this direction was suggested recently:

> I use in my scripts:
> echo Boss shutdown | bindctl
> I'd like to improve bindctl so I can do: "bindctl bind10 shutdown" (note lowercase and change component name also but that is a different ticker).
