> I just setup a BIND10 server. I had configured it as per bind10-guide.

In bindctl, "config show all".

> I am also not able to find any script to stop the bind10 in one go. (i run the bind10 script in background and it starts multiple thread/scripts for multiple task. Now i am not able to stop bind10 in one go. I am killing each task manually to stop bind10 completely).

If you send SIGTERM to the main bind10 process, it will shut down the other b10-* processes.

> One more issue which i am facing is, b10-cmdctl is listening on 127.0.0.1. I want to change it to listen on all the interfaces configured on the server.
> I tried to run "./b10-cmdctl -a x.x.x.x" but it is giving me an error.
> I want to configure it globally so as to listen b10-cmdctl on 0.0.0.0.
> Any suggestion how to do that.

I have never tried this and so will defer to others.
