The service 'named' on server server.domain.net is currently down

[Jamie]

I am recieving more than 40 email every day with this subject:

This message has been automatically generated notifying you that the service named is currently down.

I try to fix error:

[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/named restart

-bash: /etc/init.d/named: No such file or directory

Please tell me is it necessary service?! if yes how can i repair that?!

Make sure bind is installed

rpm -qa | grep -i ^bind

and install it if you have no bind:

yum install bind

 

[Jamie]

I see after execute your command:
[root@server ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i ^bind
bind-libs-9.3.6-20.P1.el5
bind-utils-9.3.6-20.P1.el5

Thanks you for reply!.

yum install bind
service bind start
