Hello everybody

[cinemaxxxxx]

I don't have many experiences with AIX operating systems.

What I know is that I have a daemon in inittab who starts the backup command after receiving a "trigger" (a file in a specified directory).

I need to modify this backup daemon but can't restart the whole server.
It seems that the server only reads the scriptfile during executing the inittab.
Is it possible to restart a daemon on a running system without rebooting???

Thanks for any help...

refresh -s inetd

or smit refresh

see
man init
man inittab
man refresh

Thanks for the tip mrn

I have the problem that I don't have the man help system on my server... But I think I already have a solution for my problem...

The daemon, service or whatever else in the inittab is with action RESPAWN... So I thought I search the PID in the ps command and kill it... and as I thought, after I killed it he restartet automatically with the modified script ))

Thanks and best regards

Raphael. I'm pleased you got a solution to your problem. The man pages are widely available on the internet - try:

for starters. Enjoy.

Thank you for the information KenCunningham

But my problem is that I have AIX version 4.3...

And it seems that IBM doesn't have this man pages online anymore... or that I didn't find it in the IBM "Jungle" Website...
