HUP signals

[Chern Jian Leaw]

Hi,

How do I send a HUP signal to the process specified in the /etc/inetd.conf file?

I've specifed the /etc/inetd.conf file as:
rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon

I trying to setup a rsync server.

Could please help me out in this matter?

Thanks.

Kill -1 will send a SIGHUP.

You can also just run:
inetd -c

See man inetd.

Run: inetd -c

This will re-read the configuration file inetd.conf thus enabling your change.

This is much cleaner than a NOHUP and usually is the preferred method for any changes in
inetd.conf.

Hi

To send the HUP signal...

# ps -ef | grep ( your process / daemon )

# kill -HUP (pid of your process / daemon)

This will restart / resync the daemon
