I also wanted to control zonerunner. Specifically to create 'static' resource records like MX and TXT records. I stumbled across a little shell that seems to be what does the work for the configuration gui: zrsh. Variables, designated @VariableName@, are injected from my management tool- below are some examples of the format.
@Zone@ = 'example.com'
@EscapedZone@ = 'example\.com'
@RecordType@ = 'MX'
@DesiredRecords@ = '"external example.com. example.com. 3600 MX 10 smtp.example.com." "external example.com. example.com. 3600 MX 20 smtp1.example.com." "external example.com. example.com. 3600 MX 20 smtp2.example.com."'
@Authority@ = 'dns.example.com'
Here's the script I ended up with:
!/bin/sh
ZoneFile=/tmp/newzone.external.@Zone@.
Zone=@Zone@
RecordType=@RecordType@
ZoneExists=0
DesiredRecords=(@DesiredRecords@)
Authority=@Authority@
Check if zone exists
echo "listzones" | zrsh | awk '{ print $2 }' | grep '^@EscapedZone@\.$' && ZoneExists=1
If zone didn't exist, create it
if [ $ZoneExists -eq 0 ]; then
Create Zone File Defaults
ISODate=`date +%Y%m%d`
cat << EOF > ${ZoneFile}
\$ORIGIN .
\$TTL 500 ; 8 minutes 20 seconds

)
\$TTL 0 ; 0 seconds
NS ${Authority}.
\$TTL 3600 ; 1 hour
\$ORIGIN ${Zone}.
\$TTL 0 ; 0 seconds
EOF
echo "addZoneFile external @Zone@. master db.external.@Zone@. \"${ZoneFile}\"" | zrsh
rm -f ${ZoneFile}
fi
Strip existing static records
echo "displayzone @Zone@." | zrsh | grep '@RecordType@' | awk '{ cmd=sprintf("echo ''delrr external %s %s %s %s %s %s'' | zrsh ", $1, $1, $2, $4, $5, $6); system(cmd) }'
Set desired static records
for i in "${DesiredRecords[@]}"; do
echo "addrr $i" | zrsh;
done
