Do you realize the Makefile contained therein is a plaintext, commented, quite easily understandable file? If you skimmed it you would have realized adding the 'restart' target to the make command would have done just what you needed without taking down the whole box. -- If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely ignore your message.
