With the exception of (some) things related to JACK, it should never be necessary to restart the rivendell service after making configuration changes in rdadmin(1). If you find a situation where that is necessary, please report it as a bug! > (maybe for a full caed restart...

There are some formidable practical obstacles however; starting with the fact that some of the supported devices —e.g. Grass Valley GVC 7000 protocol — provide no mechanism for reading the actual state of the switching matrix. For those devices, Rivendell itself is in the situation of having to fire off protocol messages in the pious hope that they actually work, with no means for determining that that is actually so.
