Thanks for all the help Srini Presuming you have access to source code.. have the daemon process check the modify time on the config file or record iF it changed since the last time it looked or booted, then have the daemon reread the file and reset itself. OR Move it from an RC based process to an INIT run process (inittab and have it exit and auto restart upon config file changes. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
