Stop and Start Services under RedHat Linux

If you’re used to:

/etc/init.d/named restart
…you may find that:
service named restart
…is an easier way of doing the same thing.

I am using RedHat Linux version 7.2 and for some reason the Named service keeps stoppin itself. What would cause this and how do I go about fixing the problem so that it won’t continually do that? Thanks Lauren

I think you made a typo, it is ‘service named restart’ not ‘service restart named’, in my experience the daemon is the second argument. Also, if you are ‘service httpd restart’ing frequently and you only want to refresh the config files, most daemons allow for ‘service httpd reload’ which is a bit quicker. (I learned this last week, so now I’m an expert.)

Thanks for pointing that out, Rob. Original post has been corrected.

In Fedora Core 2, /sbin is not in the default path for non root users, so you might have to type “sudo /sbin/service named restart”, or “su -” before you “service named restart”

Of course if you were a real Linux geek, you would already be ‘root,’ and therefore the need to sudo would be abrogated.
