[Solved] Restart systemd without reboot?

I need to know if is it possible and if so, how to do it.
I presently using a arch live usb and I have to downgrade systemd to make my wifi working. But how to make systemd use this "new" version without rebooting the system?
Is there any other ways to do it beside making a custom img with a specific kernel and/or specific package?
Thanks

What does have systemd do with wifi? Are you having some udev-related issue?

How to restart KDE without reboot of system

Hello
I tried to do this in 2 ways:
1)
- su
- /etc/rc.d/kdm stop
- /etc/rc.d/kdm start
2)
- setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp # to use keyboard (ctrl+atl+Backspace)
But here is the problems.
Method 1) -> there is no sound when I try to play movies (wth VLC player for example).
Method 2) -> does't work. It tells me "No protocol specified"

Log out of KDE log in to vc. Then either stop kdm as you specified above, or given that it gives your problems, use
sudo htop
to kill it. It's not "pretty" but it is effective.
Then start KDM with xinit. Edit xinit that instead of TWM it starts KDM.
Why do you even need to restart KDE without reboot?

How to restart VSS writers without rebooting

Hello fellow teckies.
I'm having this problem when backing up with Symantec Backup Exec 11d where it generates errors about not being able to backup VSS sections on the C drive.
I've already posted with Symantec.
https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/vss-c-drive-errors-when-backing-server
They're saying to re-register and restart the services. My question is, can the services be restarted without rebooting?
Unfortunately rebooting is not an option as this is a critical production server.
If anyone can answer, please let me know.
Thanks :)

What Santhosh mentioned is on the right direction. To restart a VSS writer, you need to restart the services or process that hosts the writer. Generally speaking, we will
take the following steps when encountering VSS writer related issues:
Retry the backup or restore operation that caused the error condition.
If this does not resolve the issue, restart the service or process that hosts the writer, and retry the operation.
If this does not resolve the issue, open Event Viewer as described in the "Open Event Viewer and view events related to VSS" section and look for events related to the
service or process that hosts the writer. If necessary, restart the service or process, and retry the operation.
If this does not resolve the issue, restart the computer, and retry the operation.
If restarting the computer does not resolve the issue, provide the Event Viewer information to the vendor whose application is indicated in the event text.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee264212(WS.10).aspx
As for the impact of the restart, it generally will not cause bad effect. However, it depends on the service which is restarted. Generally speaking, a service should handle
all the related task, such as writing all data in memory into disk and committing the transaction, etc, when a properly restart operation is performed. If there are any particular requirement or order to follow to restart a service or application, you should
follow the recommended restart procedure.
Meanwhile, it is reported that when performing Shadow Copy Components backups with the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) installed you may encounter this issue. Please
refer to the following Symantec article:

How to restart databases in linux machine without rebooting of system

Hi,

Os is openSUSE 11.1

You never ever show us a concrete output enclosed by tags before and after your code, even not showed which user you are connected with, no more the env variables...
You also wrote earlier :
Os is openSUSE 11.1
db version is 10.2.0Needless to say that Oracle is NOT certified on openSUSE. You may want to investigate some specific things for that Linux distro.

[SOLVED] glibc upgrade - what to do after rm -rf /lib/* without reboot

Hello everyone,
edit: please read this whole post... better mention it here, too -> I cannot reboot. thanks
I messed up following this guide while doing the glibc (/lib) upgrade on my desktop. I ran into "Issue 2" and it said
If no other files are in /lib/modules, you can safely remove that directory.
Sadly I did
rm -rf /lib/*
instead of
rm -rf /lib/modules*
That means all the .so files in /lib (owned by glibc) are gone now. That means - besides other problems - I cannot use any binaries like "cp" anymore. I still have a root shell (bash), a nautilus, a Gedit and a Firefox open but cannot call ANY other binaries. E.g.:
[root@firefly ~]# pacman -Su
-bash: /usr/bin/pacman: No such file or directory
With Firefox I managed to get all the deleted libraries into my home folder (from my Laptop running Arch64, too). So there are now under "/home/killroy/dloads/lib" rather than "/lib". I cannot reboot this computer now so I have to get those files into /lib so that I can use my binaries again. I still have "echo" because it is a bash-builtin. Is it possible to somehow emulate / workaround a
cp /home/killroy/dloads/lib/* /lib/
Or is it possible to tell my still-running root shell that the library path where those glibc-owned libraries reside are not in /lib but in /home/killroy/dloads/lib now?
Any help would be appreciated, really

Then download busybox: http://www.busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/
Set it executable and use the root shell to spawn an instance of the busybox shell /path/to/busybox sh
in the busybox you have now all requiered commands (wget, cp, chmod, tar, xz, ...)
OMG thank you, really!
Okay that did the trick:
With the busybox binary - after making it excecutable with nautilus - I could use its tar command to untar the glibc package and its cp command to copy the needed .so files to /lib using something like:
root # /path/to/busybox tar xf /path/to/glibc.tar
root # /path/to/busybox cp ./lib/* /lib/
Again, thank you.
This topic could now be closed (and maybe kept for reference for people who need to fix this without rebooting the system) I guess.

How to reset the sound card without rebooting my Mac?

Sometime when I plug/unplug my headphones from my MacBookPro I get no sound afterwards. When I adjust the volume, it doesn't show any error just no sound. I've checked the I/O settings as sound is a very important aspect of my profession. The solution found at the beginning was doing a PRAM reset and it worked fine. However, in the process my Mac needed rebooted. I then found that opening the Terminal and inserting the command
sudo kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' | awk '{print $1}'`
works fine without restarting. I was working on a Max patch and was forced to close. So, My question is: Is there a way to solve this issue without restarting or having apps I'm working with forced to close? I am switching fairly normal, not hastily, between headphones and speakers when working with Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools and Max and relying on my Mac to be professional about it.

Your iCloud password is your Apple ID and password. You must know it since you are posting here.
Have you transfered your MMe account to iCloud? If not, open iCloud in system preferences and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
If you have transfered it to iCloud, do this:
Go to the iCloud icon in System Preferences and open it. Sign out of iCloud.
Open Mail. If the iCloud or MMe account still exists in Mail's preferences under accounts, select the account and delete it. Then sign back into iCloud and choose Mail and any other applications in iCloud that you use. The Mail account should be put into Mail automatically.
Signing out of iCloud should remove the account from Mail and signing back in should put it back. There is no manuel account creation by you when using Apple Mail application.

Delegate dataset to zone without reboot.

Hi.
Doc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gbbst/index.html describe how add dataset to zone.
# zonecfg -z zion
zonecfg:zion> add dataset
zonecfg:zion:dataset> set name=tank/zone/zion
zonecfg:zion:dataset> endBut i should restart zone for activate changes.
Is it possible activate changes without reboot zone?
Thanks.

Huh, i'm rather certain Nik would remember to do that.
Anyway, for normal filesystems you can mount them using the type LOFS into the zones, i'm uncertain if that works for datasets.
Its possible that you could accomplish it by setting the zfs property zoned to the zone and mount it with zfs mount.. but I've never tried it with datasets and zones..
Also, this is now a quite old issue, so i guess it was solved somehow :-)

Is it possible to do DST patch without reboot on Solaris 9

Hi - I have some machines that are difficult to schedule downtime on, and am
wondering if I can manually stop/start processes that are affected by
113225-08 and 112874-33 patches so that I could apply them without rebooting.
Is this possible?
Thanks very much for the help,
Judy

The reboot ensures that all processes are restarted.
Any processes that are started before the timezone patch is installed will not see the update.
So if nothing else, I'd want to restart cron...

'Flush' launchd without rebooting server?

I created a daily 6am disk usage report, then moved it to 8am... but then it began running at 6am and 8am... so I unloaded the job and found the 8am job kept running, even though there's no mention of it in the 'launchd list' results!
I've used the following one-liner to print out the contents of all the loaded launchd jobs, but none of them have been overwritten by my plist, or in any other way call the script that my launchd job was created to run... very weird.
for i in `launchctl list | awk '{ print $NF }'`; do launchctl list $i ; done
I've unloaded, reloaded, and anything else I can think of at the commandline or in Lingon (launchd interface), but can't stop this job!
Is there any way to restart launchd, or flush its cache/database of jobs, without rebooting the server??

Thanks for the thought BDAqua, but cron keeps its jobs in /etc/crontab while launchd uses XML plists and each job is a seperate file.
I haven't touched cron, and cant see a way that launchctl or Lingon (both solely launchd utils) would have injected the job into cron, but I checked anyway and found it wasn't the case. cron has been deprecated in favour of launchd.
launchd is the root of all processes, so i understand if there's no mechanism for restarting it (because it would kill everything else running) but I'm hoping there's a way to get it to rescan all the plist locations like it does on boot, so it will hopefully drop the spurious job and reingest the updated plist.

Photoshop Elements 8 Without Reboot?

Hi,
I am trying to create a Virtual Photoshop Elements package with AppV. When running the AppV sequencer, I am unable to reboot the computer. It seems that Photoshop Elements 8 Editor requires a reboot to run. Without reboot I am getting the following error:
Licensing for the product has stopped working.
This product has encountered a problem which requires you restart you computer before it can be launched.
Blah blah blah
Error : 147:21
Is there any way at all I can get around this without a reboot?
Thanks
Rosy#55

That helped a lot, thanks! I now know that the issue is with the FLEXnet License service needing a reboot and not running while sequencing. I now have a workaround (which violates all best practice of sequencing, but it seems to work) to allow me to sequence it, but now have a new question.
I found that if I install, then uninstall Photoshop BEFORE sequencing, I can perform the required reboot to allow the FLEXnet License Service to run. Once it is running, I can the successfully sequence the virtual application without error.....a very dirty way of doing it, but it seems to be the only way at this point.
Now for the next question, is there a way to install the FLEXnet License without installing the entire Photoshop application? The reason I need this is because the error comes back when I deploy the virtual copy of Photoshop to a computer with no FLEXnet License service running. So, if there was a way to install this service on computers, either by pushing it out or even installing it into my images that would be great.
Thanks

You can use any computer but your data will be lost if you have no backup.

I have deleted all my videos songs and photos from my iphone 4 but when i connect to itunes it still shows 17gb free. how can I solve this issue without restore. Total storage of my iphone is 32 gb.

I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

I duplicated a picture and now iPhoto (11) is cloning that picture replacing all the other photos and only when I click directly on them I can see the real picture! How can I solve the problem without losing any saved picture? Shall I re-install? Thanx

I duplicated a picture selecting CMD and D but, suddenly, iPhoto (latest version '11) started cloning that picture and replacing all the other photos with it.
Only when I click directly on one photo I can open it and see the real picture it is.
But the preview is always the duplicated one...
I tryed to duplicate another picture just to see if it turned out ok but the only changement was the duplicated picture!
I started repeating the second duplicated one instead of the previous one but my issue remained the same.
So, how can you help me to solve this problem without losing any saved picture?
Shall I re-install iPhoto completely?
Thank you very very much in advance!!

As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

If I close Firefox, I can't open it again without rebooting. It says that Firefox is still running.

I have Firefox 6.0.1. I am running it on a desktop with Windows XP. I have always loved it and need it for one program I use a lot. Lately, if I close Firefox for any reason, I can't open it back up without rebooting. It says Firefox is still running. I have deleted Firefox and reinstalled it several times with the same result.
