of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even
to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan</span></div>

<div class="PlainText">On MacOS, dnsmasq is started and run by launchd, so launchctl would normally be used to stop and start. Instead however, a simple 'killall dnsmasq' will stop it and launchd will automatically restart it. Does it matter to dnsmasq which
method is used?<br>
<br>
What is the best way to tell dnsmasq to just reread the config files (to include changes etc)? Is a full stop and restart required, or does it respond to any particular signal by simply re-loading its configuration?<br>
