.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fIrec_control\fR [\-\-help] [\-\-socket\-dir] [\-\-socket\-pid] command \&.\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
rec_control(1) allows the operator to control a running instance of the pdns_recursor\&.
.sp
The commands that can be passed to the recursor are described on \m[blue]\fBhttp://doc\&.powerdns\&.com/rec\-control\&.html\fR\m[]
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.sp

.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# rec_control quit
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
To dump the cache to disk, execute:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# rec_control dump\-cache /tmp/the\-cache
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}

.RE
.SH "COMMANDS"
.PP
dump\-cache filename

Dumps the entire cache to the filename mentioned\&. This file should not exist already, PowerDNS will refuse to overwrite it\&. While dumping, the recursor will not answer questions\&.
.RE
.PP

\m[blue]\fBhttp://doc\&.powerdns\&.com/recursor\-stats\&.html\fR\m[]

wipe\-cache domain0 [domain1]
.RS 4
Wipe entries from the cache\&. This is useful if, for example, an important server has a new IP address, but the TTL has not yet expired\&. Multiple domain names can be passed\&. Note that you must terminate a domain with a \&.! So to wipe powerdns\&.org, issue
\fIrec_control wipe\-cache powerdns\&.org\&.\fR\&. Versions beyond 3\&.1 don\(cqt need the trailing dot\&. Consider not only wiping
\fIwww\&.domain\&.com\&.\fR
but also
\fIdomain\&.com\&.\fR, as the cached nameservers or target of CNAME may continue to be undesired\&.
