Maybe that's why. If by bootup script, you mean the systemd unit file, then this looks like expected behaviour. The bug would then be that we are asking to file a bug where we should be telling you what you did wrong. You should file a bug about that!

You can indeed look at the systemd journal (`journalctl -u pdns -f`), but that won't give you the console. We did not have this question in a while, you can simulate the `/etc/init.d/pdns monitor` behaviour by running (make sure the service not running): /usr/sbin/pdns_server --daemon=no --guardian=no --control-console --loglevel=9 I'll update our documentation on this, good catch!

[Pdns-users] Monitoring question
I have the following installed; pdns 4.0.3-1pdns.el7 On a centos7 server. The manual at; https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/howtos/#basic-setup-configuring-database-connectivity Says to start the monitor; /etc/init.d/pdns monitor I have no such service, mine is installed in; /usr/sbin/pdns_server The only 'monitor' option I see when checking the help file for pdns_server is; --webserver | --webserver=yes | --webserver=no Start a webserver for monitoring Needless to say, searching the net for such keywords leads to countless unrelated things. How do I monitor this server? I am also using tail on the /var/log/messages file but I suspect there is more to be seen based on the first url I've posted. ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
