KNOTD(8) Knot DNS KNOTD(8) NAME knotd - Knot DNS server daemon SYNOPSIS knotd [config_option] [options] DESCRIPTION Knot DNS is a high-performance authoritative DNS server. The knotd pro- gram is the DNS server daemon. Config options -c, --config file Use a textual configuration file (default is /usr/lo- cal/etc/knot/knot.conf). -C, --confdb directory Use a binary configuration database directory (default is /usr/local/var/lib/knot/confdb). The default configuration database, if exists, has a preference to the default configura- tion file. Options -m, --max-conf-size MiB Set maximum size of the configuration database (default is 500 MiB, maximum 10000 MiB). -s, --socket path Use a remote control UNIX socket path (default is /usr/lo- cal/var/run/knot/knot.sock). -d, --daemonize [directory] Run the server as a daemon. New root directory may be specified (default is /). -v, --verbose Enable debug output. -h, --help Print the program help. -V, --version Print the program version. The option -VV makes the program print the compile time configuration summary. Signals If the knotd process receives a SIGHUP signal, it reloads its configu- ration and reopens the log files, if they are configured. When knotd receives a SIGUSR1 signal, it reloads all configured zones. Upon re- ceiving a SIGINT signal, knotd exits. EXIT VALUES Exit status of 0 means successful operation. Any other exit status in- dicates an error. SEE ALSO knot.conf(5), knotc(8), keymgr(8), kjournalprint(8).
