Subject: Bug#3815: "ndc stats" fails

From: Martyn Plummer <[email-masked]>

Package: bind
Version: 4.9.3-P1-3

"ndc stats" fails to dump named statistics to /var/tmp/named.stats because
ndc sends the ABRT signal to named. The IOT signal should be used instead.
Editing /usr/sbin/ndc and changing ABRT to IOT fixes the problem.
Transcript follows

bash# ndc stats
kill: bad signal spec `ABRT'
bash# kill -l
 1) SIGHUP       2) SIGINT       3) SIGQUIT      4) SIGILL
 5) SIGTRAP      6) SIGIOT       7) SIGBUS       8) SIGFPE
 9) SIGKILL     10) SIGUSR1     11) SIGSEGV     12) SIGUSR2
13) SIGPIPE     14) SIGALRM     15) SIGTERM     17) SIGCHLD
18) SIGCONT     19) SIGSTOP     20) SIGTSTP     21) SIGTTIN
22) SIGTTOU     23) SIGURG      24) SIGXCPU     25) SIGXFSZ
26) SIGVTALRM   27) SIGPROF     28) SIGWINCH    29) SIGIO
30) SIGPWR

I'm using Debian 1.1 "out of the box".

Surely this is a bug in `kill' ?  I think kill should accept ABRT as a
signal name.

Certainly, since SIGABRT is the ANSI-C name of the signal.
