A SIGHUP will not terminate the inetd process. You do _not_ need to restart it. From the manpage, "The inetd program rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal, SIGHUP. Services may be added, deleted or modified when the configuration file is reread. Except when started in debugging mode, inetd records its process ID in the file /var/run/inetd.pid to assist in reconfiguration." So to the original poster, to have it re-read the file without the need to lookup the PID, # kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` > -----Original Message----- > From: OCD Support [mailto:support@kawartha.com] > Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 1999 11:09 AM > To: George Vagner > Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: inetd > > > Granted that you're logged in as root, do the following: > > # ps -x > > Look for the INETD running process (note the PID of the process) and > then do: > > # kill -HUP pid# > > For example if the INETD was running as process 183 then we'd do the > following: > > # kill -HUP 183 > > That should do it..:) > > Paul Stewart > > > George Vagner wrote: > > > I made some changes to inetd.conf and wanted to know how > > do i make the system reread in the new settings without > > rebooting.
