launchd expects that the processes it launches will not daemonize themselves; launchd is itself the daemon. > b) why nothing in launchctl "launchctl list" takes the current user into account. "launchctl list" shows you jobs started as your user, but Apache, MySQL and BIND are system processes. To see them, use "sudo launchctl list". > Historically, to update the zonefiles, etc. I would simply "HUP" named. > However, it appears that > the "correct way" to do this under the MacPorts installation is the inverse > of the start... > >> sudo port unload bind9 >> sudo port load bind9 > > Question 2: is that correct? That's one way, or you can just kill the BIND daemon, and launchd will notice that it has quit and will launch it again. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
