The behavior of 'rndc halt -p' appears to be different from the
documentation.
According to the BIND 9.4 ARM rndc section:
halt [-p] Stop the server immediately. Recent changes made through
dynamic update or IXFR
are not saved to the master files, but will be rolled forward from the
journal files when the
server is restarted. If -p is specified named’s process id is
returned. This allows an external
process to determine when named had completed halting.
But the actual behavior seems to be that 'rndc halt -p' returns
immediately with the PID of named, but a 'ps -ef' shows named still
running until it's done answering its unfinished recursive queries (or
whatever it's busy doing).
Is rndc broken, or is the documentation wrong, or am I missing
something?
If it makes a difference, this is on a server that exclusively does
recursive resolution and does not serve any authoritative zones.
