/etc/system file

Hello,

How do you make changes to the /etc/system file go into effect without rebooting? BTW, I'm referencing the Solaris 8 OS.

Thanks.

/etc/system is only read once at boot time. See the man page by issuing the command: $ man -s 4 system

Ok. I inserted some shared memory entries into the system file (for Sybase DBMS), so I was wondering if it was possible.

Thanks Again.
