# Restarting an SRC Module or Component

In some instances, you may need to restart an SRC module or component. You can restart a component gracefully, immediately, or by sending a hangup signal before restarting the component. Table 7 shows options available for the restart command.

Table 7: Options to Restart an SRC Module or Component

Option | Description
--- | ---
component | Name of the module or component to restart.
gracefully component | Restart a specified module or component by sending the equivalent of a UNIX SIGTERM signal.
immediately component | Immediately restart a module or component by sending the equivalent of a UNIX SIGKILL signal.
soft component | Reread and reactivate the configuration without completely restarting a module or component. This option is the equivalent of a UNIX SIGHUP signal; omitting this option is the equivalent of a UNIX SIGTERM (kill) operation.

To restart a component:

- In operational mode, enter a restart command.

  For example, to gracefully restart the NIC component:

  `
  user@host> restart gracefully component UMCnic
  Shutting down the NICHOST server: done
  Starting NICHOST: may take a few minutes...
  `
