Actually, this brings up a good question that I've never properly tested.
When running a scheduler service *without* an Acceptor service, then you
most definitely need to restart the service for changes to take place.
But how about when running an Acceptor service? It makes sense to me that
the Acceptor would need to be restarted whenever an option is changed that
the acceptor must deal with, eg. tcpserveraddress, schedmode, etc. Some
options, however, are only relevant to the scheduler service itself, such as
exclude lists, dirmc, domain, etc.
Since the scheduler service is started at the appropriate time by the
acceptor, does this imply that the acceptor does not need to be restarted
for these options? My personal belief is no - it doesn't need to be
restarted if the changed option is one that the acceptor doesn't touch. I
haven't tested this properly, however. Anyone proved/disproved this?
Related Note: When changing items in a Cloptset, is there any requirement
to restart a client scheduler? Documentation doesn't make this clear.
Again, my belief is no, it doesn't need to be done, however I have not
tested this....

Paul

If you make a change in dsm.opt you have to restart the schedule service
for scheduled operations to pick up the change.
The schedule service reads the option file at startup.

Subject: dsm scheduler on windows
Trying to set up an easier way to manage the configuration
(dsm.opt) on windows files. One comment mentioned today is
that anytime the dsm.opt changes the dsm sched service must
be cycled. Is that true? I thought only the windows equivilant
program to dsmc would read dsm.opt and as such it is the
only think that might need cycling or tweaking of dsm.opt changes.
What's the real answer?
