Re: Inetd
I believe it is the same. the -HUP tells the daemon to re-read it's config files and start anew.

I've learned that if I don't move my mouse, I don't have to reboot as often. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/12/2000 2:52:25 PM Like at the Country Faire...

How do you send the inetd process a SIGHUP signal from the command line? Man inetd doesn't mention it. Is it done differently from different distributions? Others have discussed "ps ax ; kill -HUP 234" (and discussed it to death, and made bad puns). The easier, all at once way is to use killall. # killall -HUP inetd killall finds the process named inetd and sends it a SIGHUP. -- Kbob [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.jogger-egg.com/
