KEACTRL(8) Kea KEACTRL(8) NAME keactrl - Shell script for managing Kea SYNOPSIS keactrl [command] [-c keactrl-config-file] [-s server[,server,...]] [-v] DESCRIPTION keactrl is a shell script which controls the startup, shutdown, and re- configuration of the Kea servers (kea-dhcp4, kea-dhcp6, kea-dhcp-ddns, kea-ctrl-agent, and kea-netconf). It also provides a way to check the current status of the servers and determine the configuration files in use. CONFIGURATION FILE Depending on the user's requirements, not all of the available servers need be run. The keactrl configuration file specifies which servers are enabled and which are disabled. By default the configuration file is [kea-install-dir]/etc/kea/keactrl.conf. See the Kea Administrator Reference Manual for documentation of the pa- rameters in the keactrl configuration file. OPTIONS command Specifies the command to be issued to the servers. It can be one of the following: start Starts the servers. stop Stops the servers. reload Instructs the servers to re-read the Kea configuration file. This command is not supported by the NETCONF agent. status Prints the status of the servers. -c|--ctrl-config keactrl-config-file Specifies the keactrl configuration file. Without this switch, keactrl uses the file [kea-install-dir]/etc/kea/keactrl.conf. -s|--server server[,server,...] Specifies a subset of the enabled servers to which the command should be issued. The list of servers should be separated by commas, with no intervening spaces. Acceptable values are: dhcp4 DHCPv4 server (kea-dhcp4). dhcp6 DHCPv6 server (kea-dhcp6). dhcp_ddns DHCP DDNS server (kea-dhcp-ddns). ctrl_agent Control Agent (kea-ctrl-agent). netconf NETCONF agent (kea-netconf). all All servers, including NETCONF if it was configured to be built. This is the default. -v|--version Displays the Kea version. -V Displays the extended Kea version. DOCUMENTATION Kea comes with an extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that covers all aspects of running the Kea software - compilation, installa- tion, configuration, configuration examples, and much more. Kea also features a Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea can print with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea distribu- tion. The Kea documentation is available at https://kea.readthedocs.io. Kea source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide, available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/. The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org. MAILING LISTS AND SUPPORT There are two public mailing lists available for the Kea project. kea-users (kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while kea-dev (kea-dev at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea developers, prospective contributors, and other advanced users. Both lists are available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides best-effort support on both of those lists. ISC provides professional support for Kea services.
