anonftp...???

[Ken Roberts]

do you mean without rebooting your machine?

if i understand you correctly, you have not changed any configuration files, but
instead have killed the anonymous ftp server.

i think, if inetd is running your anonymous ftp, then you should be able to do
this:

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

BEFORE YOU DO THIS:
when you send a HUP (hangup) to a unix daemon, it re-reads the configuration
file.  this is the least-destructive way to do this, it should cause all your
servers to re-read their configs without breaking critical connections to users.

also, the quotes in the line above are backticks, which is under the ~ key.  if
you can't get that to work, then you can break the command into two parts:

cat /var/run/inetd.pid

<number is printed>

kill -HUP <number>
