I intend on adding a port into the /etc/services file, does anyone know if I need to restart any processes for the change to take place?

many thanks

Shalom,

It is best to make your addition to /etc/services while the new service is not running.

You need not worry about any other services during this change.

no, you can do it at will, but make sure to use an unused port
