NAME
     named.restart - stop and restart the name server

SYNOPSIS
     named.restart

DESCRIPTION
     This command sends a SIGKILL to the running name server and then
     starts a new one.

NOTES
     Does not check to see if the name server is actually running, and
     could use a stale PID cache file which may result in the death of an
     unrelated process.

     Does not wait after killing the old server before starting a new one;
     since the server could take some time to die and the new one will
     experience a fatal error if the old one isn't gone by the time it
     starts, you can be left in a situation where you have no name server
     at all.
