You don't need to copy it to somewhere else. You can replace an executable without the running process being disturbed, by deleting the file and creating (or moving) a new one in its place. Most tools (like "cp") will do this when they overwrite a file. Then simply restart the service (or have it exec() itself), and the new version will be running. The old version of the executable will continue to exist—even though it has no file name—until nothing uses it anymore. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
