Stop and Start Services under RedHat Linux

I am using RedHat Linux version 7.2 and for some reason the Named service keeps stoppin itself. What would cause this and how do I go about fixing the problem so that it won’t continually do that?

Thanks
Lauren

I think you made a typo, it is ‘service named restart’ not ‘service restart named’, in my experience the daemon is the second argument.

Also, if you are ‘service httpd restart’ing frequently and you only want to refresh the config files, most daemons allow for ‘service httpd reload’ which is a bit quicker.

(I learned this last week, so now I’m an expert.)

In Fedora Core 2, /sbin is not in the default path for non root users, so you might have to type “sudo /sbin/service named restart”, or “su -” before you “service named restart”
