Cabletron Systems 9A000 manual Adding an Entry for Your Switch in the bootptab File, 6-10

Software Upgrade Instructions

Before any of the above changes can take effect, inetd must re-read the config- uration file.

NOTE: If you need to set up a tftpboot server, as described in Section 6.5.4, the following pro- cess is not necessary at this time. Instead, make inetd re-read its configuration file after setting up your server.

Determine the process number of inetd by entering the following:

host: ps -aux grep inetd

Something similar to the following will be displayed:

root 216 0.0 0.0 48 0 ? IW Jan 27 0:14 inetd

where 216 represents the process number of inetd.

Now that you know the process number, enter the following command line to make inetd re-read its configuration file:

host: kill -HUP 216
