Hmm, perhaps... But a quick perusal of "man rndc" would have shown that there is no "start" command and the phrasing "communicates with the nameserver over a TCP connection. would have been a clue that the nameserver needed to be running :)
True but in my feeble defence I was following someone else's example procedures (and following them blindly it would seem). I would think that my suggested change, while not strictly required, would result in improved usability of the software.
