    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      keactrl is a shell script which controls the startup, shutdown
      and reconfiguration of the Kea servers (<command>kea-dhcp4</command>,
      <command>kea-dhcp6</command>, <command>kea-dhcp-ddns</command> and
      <command>kea-ctrl-agent</command>). It also provides the means for
      checking the current status of the servers and determining the
      configuration files in use.
    </para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>CONFIGURATION FILE</title>
    <para>
     Depending on requirements, not all of the available servers need
     be run.  The keactrl configuration file sets which servers are
     enabled and which are disabled.  By default the configuration
     file is <filename>[kea-install-dir]/etc/kea/keactrl.conf</filename>.
    </para>
    <para>
      See the Kea Administrator's Guide for the documentation of the parameters
      in the <command>keactrl</command> configuration file.
