what would the command be for restarting the networking services.. example, i edit etc/services, what would get those new settings going without a restart? thanks.

In Redhat.. I think its "service --full-restart"
as root of course

no that wasnt quite it... here is the useage...

service <option> | --status-all | [ service_name [ command | --full-restart ] ]

im working on it but if anyone knows, that would be cool... ill listen! thanks.

I don't know but I would like to know because it would save me rebooting. I am sure it can be done just too lazy to work it out and it hasn't bothered me enough yet.

Besides that I am trained to reboot everytime I make a change, I've been using Windows for years now.

ok i kindve got it..

service httpd --full-restart

will restart httpd.. change httpd to network and it will reload lo, and eth0... but does anyone know what name the services in etc/services would fall under.. its not network..

getting closer...

to restart the networking service the path is /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

or just go to your /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and type ./network restart

hope this helps

hmmm.. would it be 'inetd' ?? im not at my box now but if some one wants to try it it may be...

service inetd --full-restart

You have to restart the individual services I believe.

The services file is just a file for port usage.

Look in rc5.d or rc3.d to see what services you have for those run levels. Each on of those is just symlink to services in init.d
You can use 'ntsysv' to manage some of that.

You could easily script that with a bunch of:

service SERVICENAME -restart

commands in a script file.

beautiful! that was the info i was looking for. i guess i should have looked around a little more! thanks...

So how do you restart inetd and/or xinetd? I run Mandrake 7.2 and it uses xinetd.

Do you have to do inetd and then xinetd or just xinetd or just inetd?

What is the command? I seem to remember something about kill -1 ..... (or something like it) but the cobwebs are just covering that memory too much.

Try this:

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

or this

service xinetd restart

both as 'root' of course.
