I get the point that Linux does not need to be rebooted.. and other UNIX supposedly are the same unless you change hardware, or patch kernels..
you are ALL missing what I am sayng thou..
even Mainframes flake out sometimes, and you must bounce the region, occasionally. UNIX systems can flake out too, and so does NT, NT is more prone it seems, and Windows usually LIKES to be rebooted for registry changes, windows also needs to be rebooted after certain segv's.. windows leaves dll's in memory after a program crashes too (programmers fault?)...
1) AIX has a utility called smit.. you are suuposed to be able to restart inetd with this, we did telenet sessions started acting flaky, we bounced the box everything was a-okay after that..
2) I was on a project where we had a Solaris BOX .. made changes to the shmmem for oracle, and some inetd (/etc/inetd.conf services changes) also.. tryied restarting inetd.. and system flaked out...
3) I have used Redhat.. now maybne this is a bug.. they have utilities to setup /etc/hosts file and /etc/inetd.conf...
now I admint when I installed hylafax, and added made changes to the services file there was no reason to reboot, but there have been other times when it seemed like the only solution..
I have never tried kill -1.. but will in the future...
I have also been informed that UPS's by APC for around $200 will do what I want.. so that will be the next addition.. thanks all..
and please no more emails to me on this topic. I think I have recieved over 200....
