[systemd-devel] Q: daemon-reload: when and how?

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

I have a question: systemd monitors almost everything it seems to me. So I wonder:
Under what conditions is it necessary to issue a daemon-reload, and why can't systemd find out itself that a daemon-reload is required?
So if I think a "manual" daemon-reload is required, is it safe to do it from within a unit?
I have a "generator-like" type of unit that changes the configuration of other units. However, as it seems, systemd ignores such changes until I use daemon-reload...
