BIND shows as failed in my WHM, I click tp restart BIND and it says that it restarted ok but still shows as failed in WHM, everything seems fine, does WHM update service status immediately or on sometype of schedule, should I restart BIND from SSH ? and does anyone know the command if I need to?

Hi,

It can take a minute or two for the status in WHM to update... If that fails to update, you can restart chkservd, which is the monitoring system:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/chkservd restart

Bind can be restarted with:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

HTH,

Craig.

Also try restarting Cpanel

/etc/init.d/cpanel restart

I find that clears up that issue usually.

Common issue with Cpanel? I've seen bind fail once in over 2 years on 30 servers on Plesk....

Have you bothered checking the logs. The server status page lags by 10 minutes by the way.

Cpanel will fail some services when it gets too busy it seems. We see httpd resets when the Cpanel backup is running. Bind is usually quite stable, but every once in awhile we will get the Restarted automagically message.

For us no. It hasn't failed once on us once. But the server status reporting script isn't totally accurate all the time, and those are the ways to clear it up usually.
