Updating the ToolTalk Service

When you make changes to the ToolTalk Types Database with tt_type_comp(1), the ToolTalk Service will automatically be notified to reread the types files. If you wish to explicitly force a ToolTalk session that is already running to reread the databases, send the ttsession process a SIGUSR2.

To send the ttsession process a SIGUSR2:

1. Enter the ps command to find the process identifier (pid) of the ttsession process

   % ps -ef | grep ttsession

2. Enter the kill command to send a SIGUSR2 signal to ttsession.

   % kill -USR2 ttsession_pid
