reload

This command reloads one or more services.

Interface

reload [ -h ] [ -P ] service...

This command send a SIGHUP signal to service. Many daemon reacts of SIGHUP signal to re-read its configuration file that has been changed. This command expects to find an already running service.

The 66 -t command option have no effect. 66 will detect automatically the associated tree of the service along its required-by dependencies.

In case of module service type, all services within the module are reloaded.

Multiple services can be reloaded by separating their names with a space.

This command handles interdependencies.

Note: If you want to reload a logger, use the -P option.

Options

• -h: prints this help.

• -P: Do not handle service dependencies. In such cases, the reload command will not attempt to reload the services that are dependent on the service, regardless of their current state.

Usage examples

Reloads the foo service

66 reload foo

Reloads the foo-log service

66 reload -P foo-log

Modules services

Services within a module can also be managed independently. If you need to reload a particular service inside the module, specify the name of the module service followed by a colon : and the name of the service within the module

66 reload foo@foobar:foobaz

where foo@foobar is the name of the module service and foobaz the name of the service inside the module service.

You also can use the -P option to avoid handling the dependencies of the service inside the module service

66 reload -P foo@foobar:foobaz
