It depends upon the software / changes involved. Many services (eg. web |
| 12 |
server, mail servers) have a "reload" option on the init script (ie. |
| 13 |
/etc/init.d/apache reload), otherwise you generally need to restart them |
| 14 |
to apply changes. Some services / daemons will pick up changes on the |
| 15 |
fly, but generally they don't in my experience. |

Programs which are not services / daemons will pick the changes up the |
| 18 |
next time they are run. |

You DO NOT generally need to reboot to make sure config changes are |
| 21 |
correctly loaded. This is not Windows. You just need to read the |
| 22 |
documentation for the software involved. |
