The docs say that sending SIGHUP to smbd triggers an immediate reread of the configuration. There's generally more than one instance of smbd running, though. Can I send the signal to any one, or is there one in particular that handles it, or must I send it to all of them? More to the point, my embedded system stores a single process ID in /var/run/smbd.pid; will signalling that reliable trigger a reread? -- Ciao, Paul D. DeRocco Paul mailto:pderocco at ix.netcom.com
