Steel Belted Radius Carrier 7.0 Reference Guide > Reloading the Configuration with HUP Signals

Reloading the Configuration with HUP Signals

Some configuration settings in Steel-Belted Radius Carrier are reloaded every time that Steel-Belted Radius Carrier receives a HUP (hang-up) signal. Other settings are loaded only when you stop and restart the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server.

You can send a HUP signal by issuing the sbrd hup command.

You can also issue a HUP command manually. First, determine the process ID (PID) for the RADIUS service by issuing the ps -ef | grep command. Then, issue a kill-HUP pid command (where pid is the process ID for the RADIUS service).

NOTE: This chapter describes the signals in both the SIM and SMS authentication modules that are reloaded when a HUP signal is issued. This release of Steel-Belted Radius Carrier supports only the SIM authentication module.

Table 175 identifies the files and file sections for which configuration settings (as related to the SIM or SMS authentication module) are read when a HUP signal is received.
