Only problem is that it violates POLA(* heh), one could offer an command line option to have it watch the file. (*) tmpwatch Another idea, instead of having to graft some interface and repeat it over and over with inetd/mountd/init, one could even write a program whos responsibility it was to sit in a poll()/kevent() look watching these conf files and sending the appropriate signals to them. Of course it would monitor its own config file for changes. :) -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
