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.
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.
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..
Distribution: Redhat v8.0 (soon to be Fedora? or maybe I will just go back to Slackware)

Rep:
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.
