Hi unix buffs,
I am trying to send the "inetd" proccess (a daemon daemon) a hangup
signal to make it reread it's conf file.
if 120 is the current procees number
kill -1 120 (does nothing)
kill 1 120 (system halt -swithced to single user mode)
According to the man's I should be able to comment out a service
in the conf file then send a hangup signal which should disable
the commented out service. So far no luck.
I am working on a NeXT250 with BSD
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
