2006/9/25, Erwin Van de Velde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Dear all,
Almost every port containing a service stops the service before updating but
does not restart it afterwards. I was wondering how difficult it can be to
restart the updated service after installing the files? In my opinion, it
would be less error-prone than hoping for the administrator to remember
restarting all updated services...
While this depends on every port maintainer, a general guideline about this
would help and encourage maintainers to do this.
Sometimes the configuration changes, making it inadvisable to
automatically restart the service. But automatic restarting should be
possible/desirable (IMO) if the configuration remains the same.
Regards,
Rene
