Yes, init.d scripts with the “restart" argument should stop and start the process. You can check by running $ owread /system/process/pid before and after the restart: the pid number should change: new process, new config file. > If I have it installed from the repository and also installed manually > to /opt/owfs will that cause any problems?

No problem, provided you didn’t change the default search paths for executables and dynamic libraries. Just to double check, run $ lsof -p $(owread /system/process/pid) to confirm that the owserver does not uses executables or libraries in /opt/owfs Stefano ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers
