Srinivas Stopping the listener does not affect existing connections, but only users that are trying to connect. Therefore you can modify the listener.ora file, then stop and start the listener without affecting your users. I would recommend that you avoid doing this when a lot of your users are logging in, like the first thing in the morning.
