Re: reload rc.conf without rebooting
How does one cause rc.conf to be reread without rebooting? Under linux I would generally do source somefile.conf. But if I do source rc.conf, I'm told that all my settings are not commands. Generally, you don't. For details, see the explanation of the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/admin.html#REREAD-RC It's worth mentioning that if you're on 5.x and are looking to reload certain specific settings (such as daemon configurations etc), you can run /etc/rc.d/affected-script reload (or the equivalent in /usr/local/etc/rc.d). -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks yeah, I figured that. However, in this case I had simply added keymap=us.iso to the rc.conf. So, I had to stop all my daemons just to change my keymap. Now, this was just on my home box, so I don't really care. But I'm running FreeBSD on this home machine as a test to see if I want to put it on my server. This rc.conf thing was another significant strike against it.

I got a response a while back to edit the keymap and set it in rc.conf (which is how I got off on that whole reload rc.conf thing). When I wrote that you can't reload rc.conf I didn't mean that you need a reboot to load a new keymap. These are two different things :-) I'll read through the man page for keymap... see if I can make sense out of that. Funny thing is, the delete works in vi (usually... I have a whole other raft of problems with the way vi is working) but it doesn't on the command line. Well, little by little The delete key sends ^? when in a cons-25 terminal. Depending on what your shell is, this may be remapped to perform whatever you feel suits you best. But this is a shell configuration issue. If you are using /bin/sh, keys like ^? may be remapped in ~/.editrc to perform whatever you want. For instance, to remap ^? to delete the character under the cursor (what most PC users expect to happen when they press DEL), you can use: bind ^? ed-delete-next-char For the GNU bash shell, similar key remapping may be configured in the ~/.inputrc file: ^?: delete-char For the TCSH shell, you can use bind commands in your ~/.tcshrc.
