Start / Stop /Restart BIND DNS Server

Introduction 

 For testing purposes I am using Univention with bind9. The greater goal is to use AD/SAMBA from Univention. After testing for a couple of weeks suddenly some DNS addresses do not get resolved. The same problems occurred on Zentyal. 

 So far I couldn't find a reason for this misbehavior. However, a restart of the bind9 service seems to patch the problem. 

 Debian based Linux 

 Start the service 

 service bind9 start 

 Stop the service 

 service bind9 stop 

 Restart the service 

 service bind9 restart 

 Reload the service 

 This will become necessary of a configuration file is changed. 

 service bind9 reload 

 Check status 

 service bind9 status 

 Fedora based Linux 

 Start the service 

 systemctl start named 

 Stop the service 

 systemctl stop named 

 Restart the service 

 systemctl restart named 

 Check status 

 systemctl status named
