The Console & reboots...
« on: November 22, 2000, 04:28:50 AM »
Hi,

First of all congratulations on a very nice product.  

I've noticed though, that when changing settings from the Console it is rather over-zealous about requesting reboots.  Ack!  I felt like I was back in Windows.  For instance, I changed my primary domain & dynamic dns settings and the Console wanted to reboot but things are working just fine without a reboot - as long as the proper daemons are restarted (which they were)!  Perhaps the Console could be a little bit smarter and require fewer reboots.

Regards,
Corey

Well, the reboot after installation configuration has gone from our
development version and our plan is to never have to reboot for
configuration changes. How's that?

That's exactly what I'm looking for! :)
