Installing kubectl
The following set of commands can be used to install kubectl on your machine. You may need to change the version number below:
mkdir /home/core/kubectl
cd /home/core/kubectl
curl -L "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.1.3/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl" > .
export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`
chmod +x kubectl
Pseudo Pod Restart
You can emulate a pod restart without bringing down the pod by issuing the following command:
kubectl scale --current-replicas=N --replicas=N rc CONTROLLER_NAME
Simply choose a fixed value for N (likely "1") and substitute in the name of the replication controller to "restart".
