refdbctl is a wrapper script to be used as a manual control script for the refdbd(1) daemon. It is also used by the refdb(8) startup script. The script takes care of avoiding multiple copies of the daemon and allows you to stop the daemon without knowing its process ID.
Starts the refdbd(1) daemon unless it is already running
Stops the refdbd(1) daemon
Restarts the refdbd(1) daemon if it is already running. The existing process is stopped, and a new process is started.
Asks the refdbd(1) daemon to reload its configuration file. Use this command to let changes to your configuration file take effect without stopping the process.
RefDB (7), refdbd (1).
