[Dnsmasq-discuss] restarting

[Ken Gillett]

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?

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?
