Did you try ndc?

        ROOT <32> ndc
        Type   help  -or-   /h   if you need help.
        ndc> help
        ndc: [220 8.2]
        ndc: [214-]
        ndc: [214-getpid]
        ndc: [214-status]
        ndc: [214-stop]
        ndc: [214-exec]
        ndc: [214-reload]
        ndc: [214-dumpdb]
        ndc: [214-stats]
        ndc: [214-trace]
        ndc: [214-notrace]
        ndc: [214-querylog]
        ndc: [214-qrylog]
        ndc: [214-help]
        ndc: [214 quit]
        ndc>

Notice how it says "help" not "/help".

OK, so I used /help.  All it was supply the same set of subcommands listed
in the man page.  Yet, in a previous query to a posting, I was informed
that "restart" was a ndc command.  Funny, but it isn't listed in either
help list, yet it works.

Explanation?
