Note: We get a lot of complaints about this. We realize that
it would be nice if one could send a SIGHUP to the server and
have it reload<br>
the database. This is not technically impossible, but it would
require a great deal of work, our resources are extremely
limited, and they can be better spent elsewhere. So please
don't complain about this on the mailing list unless you're
prepared to fund a project to implement this feature, or
prepared to do it yourself.<br>

Hi Steven,<br>
<br>
Sorry for not reading the man page more carefully, I missed that
part and went to end<br>
where most man pages talk about using SIGHUP to cause the process to
re-read its<br>
conf file.<br>
<br>
Anyway thanks for the pointer.<div class="im"><br>

<pre> Restarting dhcpd works for me.
I suspect that the kind of method you suggest would
probably require stalling the service for a similar
duration as that caused by a restart.

I would really like something like send a SIGHUP, etc.
