: Perhaps it is time to add a few more RPC calls to them there daemons : so you could fire an RPC at them to do most of the things that kill -SIGHUP : does now. : : I have always hated using HUP to cause reloads of data files, I find it : gross compared to the nice neat stuff that VMS does :-). VMS usually has a mailbox that you write commands to (gross simplification). The mailbox has a protection of some sort. The closest thing on Unix is a named pipe. Maybe a named pipe might not be a bad idea for things like mountd controlling. Warner
