> If I delete root.zone

you can (have to ?) update the local copy of the root zone using the command:

```auto
sudo /usr/sbin/unbound-control auth_zone_transfer "."

```

I do this on a weekly basis, using cron, also updating the root.hints

You can also increase / decrease the verbose setting using the command:

```auto
sudo /usr/sbin/unbound-control verbosity x

```

x being any number between 0 and ? (I've gone as high as 5)

`edit`  
using the above command eliminates the need to restart unbound, you'll see an entry in the log, if successful.  
`/edit`

In order for this to work, you need to have the following in your unbound.conf file:

```auto
# Remote control config section.
remote-control:
	control-enable: yes

```

Script I run with cron (way to complex, I know):

```auto
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Make sure only root can run our script
if ["$(id -u)" != "0"]; then
  echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2
  exit 1
fi

# compiled version of unbound v1.9.2
if [-f /etc/unbound/root.hints]
then
   # unbound
   sudo wget https://www.internic.net/domain/named.root -O /etc/unbound/root.hints
fi
if [-f /etc/unbound/root.zone]
then
   # zone transfert
   echo 'zone transfert "."'
   sudo /usr/sbin/unbound-control auth_zone_transfer "."
fi

# Raspbian version of unbound v1.6.0
if [-f /var/lib/unbound/root.hints]
then
   # unbound
   sudo wget https://www.internic.net/domain/named.root -O /var/lib/unbound/root.hints
fi

```
