I'm not a FreeBSD expert so I cannot speak about what is considered "best pratices" but I never restart my server after doing a port install/reinstall/upgrade/removal. I guess the only time you will need to do that is when your port may be a kernel module that cannot be unloaded/reloaded without causing major problems. -r _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
