Re read a config file

[bluedragon2]

I am looking for the syntax to re-read a config file on a live solaris system. For instance if I made changes to a config file in rc2.d... how do I HUP it?

Thanks

Config files don't typically live in /etc/rc2.d. There you'll find startup and stop scripts (or more accurately, links to startup and stop scripts).

Many daemons can be forced to re-read their config files with a "pkill -HUP process-name" or "kill -HUP PID". It doesn't work or all daemons though, only if the programmers added this feature.
