Run startup files again without reboot ???

[HaoDr]

Hi everyone,
Please tell me how to run the startup files like rc.local,
.bash_profile ...
again without reboot my system, ( sometimes I modify these files and I'd like them to run again, but I don't want reboot my system again, it takes much time then ! )
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Just make them executable :

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local

and run..

/etc/rc.d/rc.local

or

cd /etc/rc.d
./rc.local

Regards

The individual users environment would be unchanged
however if they have a live login.
Easiest way is to set up the specialized env. in
/home/user/.profile and then log in and out.
