Actually, reload works just fine on my end...and it's still running RHL9. What Sarfraz' message indicates, to me, is that named isn't actually running at the time. Behold an example from my own running system: # service named reload Reloading named: [ OK ] # service named stop Stopping named: # slide service named reload Reloading named: usage: killall [ OPTIONS ] [ -- ] name ... killall -l, --list killall -V --version -e,--exact require exact match for very long names -g,--process-group kill process group instead of process -i,--interactive ask for confirmation before killing -l,--list list all known signal names -q,--quiet don't print complaints -s,--signal send signal instead of SIGTERM -v,--verbose report if the signal was successfully sent -V,--version display version information -w,--wait wait for processes to die [FAILED] # service named start Starting named: [ OK ] Sarfraz: Try "/etc/init.d/named start" first, or, just as good, "/sbin/service named start".
