Ubuntu / Debian: Restart Named Service Command

To restart the named service (also known as the Domain Name System (DNS) server) in Ubuntu or Debian, you can use the following command:

sudo service named restart

This command will stop the named service and then start it again. If you just want to stop the service, you can use the following command:

sudo service named stop

And to start the service again, use the following command:

sudo service named start

Keep in mind that you may need to use systemctl instead of service depending on your version of Linux and the init system being used. For example, on CentOS 7 and later, you can use systemctl to start, stop, and restart the named service like this:

sudo systemctl restart named.service
sudo systemctl stop named.service
sudo systemctl start named.service
