Re: Automatically restart daemons

[Matt Kern <mwk20@cam.ac.uk>]

Thank you all for your comments about the message I posted.  However, I
feel that you have, without exception, missed the point.  I am well aware
that the prescribed way of restarting a daemon is to use the init.d
scripts;  I was kind of hoping for some feedback on whether it was a
useful idea to embed reload code into the config files, and whether we
might employ it.  The example I showed was from a machine that isn't
really Debian, and hence did not use the init.d scripts.

Cheers,

Matt
