No longer a start action
README says:
Third, lets load server. You can do this by running 'knotd' directly, or with 'knotc' as well. Server is able to run in daemonized or interactive mode. Lets start our server in interactive mode (parameter '-i') to see if it runs.
$ knotc -c myserver.conf -i start # start server in interactive mode
But is does not work:
% knotc -c myserver.conf -i start 2013-09-29T22:15:40 [error] Invalid command: 'start'
And, indeed, running knotc without any action prints a list of possible actions and start is not among them.
Running knotd seems the only solution.
