+``keactrl`` - Shell script for managing Kea
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+
+:program:`keactrl` [**command**] [**-c** keactrl-config-file] [**-s** server[,server,...]] [**-v**]
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``keactrl`` is a shell script which controls the startup, shutdown, and
+reconfiguration of the Kea servers (``kea-dhcp4``, ``kea-dhcp6``,
+``kea-dhcp-ddns``, ``kea-ctrl-agent``, and ``kea-netconf``). It also
+provides a way to check the current status of the servers and
+determine the configuration files in use.
+
+Configuration File
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Depending on the user's requirements, not all of the available servers need be run.
+The ``keactrl`` configuration file specifies which servers are enabled and which
+are disabled. By default the configuration file is
+``[kea-install-dir]/etc/kea/keactrl.conf``.
+
+See the Kea Administrator Reference Manual for documentation of the
+parameters in the ``keactrl`` configuration file.
+
+Options
+~~~~~~~
+
+``command``
+ Specifies the command to be issued to the servers. It can be one of the following:
+
+ ``start``
+ Starts the servers.
+
+ ``stop``
+ Stops the servers.
+
+ ``reload``
+ Instructs the servers to re-read the Kea configuration file. This
+ command is not supported by the NETCONF agent.
+
+ ``status``
+ Prints the status of the servers.
+
+``-c|--ctrl-config keactrl-config-file``
+ Specifies the ``keactrl`` configuration file. Without this switch,
+ ``keactrl`` uses the file
+ ``[kea-install-dir]/etc/kea/keactrl.conf``.
+
+``-s|--server server[,server,...]``
+ Specifies a subset of the enabled servers to which the command should
+ be issued. The list of servers should be separated by commas, with no
+ intervening spaces. Acceptable values are:
+
+ ``dhcp4``
+ DHCPv4 server (``kea-dhcp4``).
+
+ ``dhcp6``
+ DHCPv6 server (``kea-dhcp6``).
+
+ ``dhcp_ddns``
+ DHCP DDNS server (``kea-dhcp-ddns``).
+
+ ``ctrl_agent``
+ Control Agent (``kea-ctrl-agent``).
+
+ ``netconf``
+ NETCONF agent (``kea-netconf``).
+
+ ``all``
+ All servers, including NETCONF if it was configured to be
+ built. This is the default.
+
+``-v|--version``
+ Prints the ``keactrl`` version and quits.
+
+Documentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Kea comes with an extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that covers
+all aspects of running the Kea software - compilation, installation,
+configuration, configuration examples, and much more. Kea also features a
+Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea can print
+with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are
+available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea
+distribution. The Kea documentation is available at
+https://kea.readthedocs.io.
+
+Kea source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide,
+available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/.
+
+The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.
+
+Mailing Lists and Support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are two public mailing lists available for the Kea project. **kea-users**
+(kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while **kea-dev**
+(kea-dev at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea developers, prospective
+contributors, and other advanced users. Both lists are available at
+https://lists.isc.org. The community provides best-effort support
+on both of those lists.
+
+ISC provides professional support for Kea services. See
