[Kea-users] Tweaks to keactrl?

[Shane Kerr]

All,

I was starting kea with keactrl, but I couldn't figure out the
command-line option to just start/stop the DDNS component.

Eventually I looked in the source and found that it was dhcp_ddns. (I
hadn't built the man pages yet - see my separate mail about that
adventure.)

I have some suggestions for minor tweaks that could improve this:

* The help text could include a list of supported servers.
* Alternately, one could specify "-s help" to get a list of supported
  servers (this is how mplayer lets you determine the supported codecs
  and things like that). I don't expect kea to ever have 100 different
  servers, so probably this is not necessary, but there is precedent.
* One could allow "dhcp-ddns" in addition to "dhcp_ddns", since this
  more closely matches the process name.
* One could display the symbolic name in "keactrl status" in addition
  to the textual name.

If these make sense, then I can go ahead and whip up a small patch to
implement these.

Cheers,
