Hi, I'm running rndc stats and trying to determine how long the stats are good for. I'm querying the server start time by a couple methods but they're not the same. Which one should I rely on? $ date -r /var/run/named/named.pid Sun Jan 1 03:38:04 EST 2017 $ ps -C named -o lstart= Sat Dec 24 12:03:47 2016 I'm using the version bind-9.8.2-0.23.rc1.el6_5.1.x86_64 package on CentOS.
