[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains] SIGIOT on Suns

ced@bcstec.uucp (Charles Derykus) (06/05/91)

Hello,

Does anyone know if Sun has failed to implement SIGIOT to dump stats?
The signal appears to be ignored - but I am hoping I've missed something.

Any info appreciated.

You must have an old man page (but I remember SIGIOT from somewhere).
On a Sun here and now (SunOS 4.0.3) it's:

     SIGHUP     - reload
     SIGINT     - dump to /var/tmp/named_dump.db
     SIGUSR1    - increment debug level (output to /var/tmp/named.run
     SIGUSR2    - turn debugging off

No, I believe it's Sun that's running the old version of Bind.  SIGINT
dumps the named cache to named_dump.db.  On newer versions of BIND,
SIGIOT dumps statistics (number of input packets, number of output
packets, number of queries, number of queries broken down by type, etc.)
to /usr/tmp/named.stats.
