To start, stop, or restart the BIND DNS server on a Linux system, you can use the following commands, executed as the root user or a user with sudo privileges:
- Start the BIND DNS server:
systemctl start named
- Stop the BIND DNS server:
systemctl stop named
- Restart the BIND DNS server:
systemctl restart named
Note that the exact name of the service (named in the above examples) may vary depending on your Linux distribution. To check the correct name of the service, you can use the following command:
systemctl list-units --type service | grep bind
This will list all services that have the word “bind” in their names, and you should be able to identify the correct service for BIND.
