On Tuesday 22 April 2003 9:37, someone, possibly Paul Everlund, typed: > If you type 'kill -HUP 1' the init-process reads some (do > not know which except for /etc/ttys) configuration files. You can get the same result with init q. This reloads /etc/ttys(5), but doesn't restart anything else. > Can one not accomplish this by 'killall init'?

But if you want to reinvoke the rc scripts, make sure you do umount -A (not umount -a) first.
