rollctl - Send commands to the DNSSEC-Tools rollover daemon.
rollctl [options]
The rollctl command sends commands to the DNSSEC-Tools rollover daemon, rollerd. Multiple options may be specified on a single command line and they will be executed in alphabetical order. The exception to this ordering is that the -shutdown command will always be executed last.
In most cases, rollerd will send a response to rollctl. rollctl will print a success or failure message, as appropriate.
The following options are handled by rollctl.
Starts the rollover status GUI.
Indicates that zone's parent has published a new DS record for zone.
Indicates that DS records have been published for all zones in phase 6 of KSK rollover.
Cleanly halts rollerd execution.
Sets the rollerd log file to logfile. This must be a valid logging file, meaning that if logfile already exists, it must be a regular file. The only exceptions to this are if logfile is /dev/stdout or /dev/tty.
Sets the rollerd logging level to loglevel. This must be one of the valid logging levels defined in rollmgr.pm(3).
Stops the rollover status GUI.
Initiates rollover for all the zones defined in the current rollrec file.
Sets the rollrec file to be processed by rollerd to rollrec_file.
Initiates rollover for the zone named by zone.
Wakes up rollerd and has it run its queue of rollrec entries.
Synonym for -halt.
Stops rollover for all zones in the current rollrec file.
Stops rollover for the zone named by zone.
Sets rollerd's sleep time to sleeptime. sleeptime must be an integer at least as large as the $MIN_SLEEP value in rollerd.
Has rollerd write several of its operational parameters to its log file. The parameters are also reported to rollctl, which prints them to the screen.
Set the logging level for the specified zone. The new logging level is only for the current execution of rollerd and is not saved to the active rollrec file.
Has rollerd give the status of zones in the current rollrec file to the rollerd log file. The status is also reported to rollctl, which prints it to the screen.
Prevents output from being given. Both error and non-error output is stopped.
Displays a usage message.
The following modifications may be made in the future:
The commands will be executed in the order given on the command line rather than in alphabetical order.
