Re: Restarting lookupd

Are you asking how to send a HUP signal to a process?

The command "kill" is used to signal (or kill) a process.
Run "man kill" at the Terminal for more information.


Generally it goes like this:
ps auxw |grep <whatever>
The 2nd column is the process id (PID)

kill -HUP <PID>

ps auxw |grep <whatever>
Does it still have the same process id?

Does the grep command give anything back at all?

Sometimes when you send the HUP signal to a process
it just quits, does nothing, or just re-reads it's
logs. It all depends on how the developer told the
code to respond to the HUP signal.
