My code relies on aliases and so I wanted to copy the correct version of owfs.conf to /etc/owfs.conf and I assumed that I would need to restart after that for it to be read and the correct alias file used.
The thing I don't understand is that it is not the restart that causes the failure, it is the copy. I have tried it without the restart line and it still fails. Does owserver continually read /etc/owfs.conf and detect that it being written?
