HPUX 10.20 - need to let a single user refresh the DNS table - as they add printers the need to update the hosts list...got an easy script to do this ? I stop/start inetd but thats a little drastic but if its all we have.

You dont need to do that at all.
1) ps -e | grep named and note the PID of named
2) kill -1 PID

That will force a reconfig of named.

Hi again:

You must also remember to increment the serial value of all the tables that you update so that the reconfig will take place and push the changes to the slave servers.

Issue this command

ps -ef | grep named | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -HUP

Jim,

Use 'sig_named restart' to re-read the database.

The others will work but,
Sridhar's post would be the the best method

If we are talkin about DNS then don't forget to increment serial number or else it will not update the map.

1. add new host
2. increment serial number or run script host_to_named to anyother options.
3. sig_named restart to reread the maps.
