OK, trying to get webmin going. Followed the webmin hints/tips, but after starting it up made an additional change to miniserv.conf, and thus need to restart webmin. How does one do this?

I tried /etc/init.d/webmin stop and /etc/init.d/webmin restart. It tries to do this but I get the error "start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill (number): No such process."

Also tried the tips listed here which suggested using some start and stop scripts in /etc/webmin/ but there don't appear to be any there.

I know I could just restart the server but that shouldn't be necessary.

Tried searching here for "restart webmin" and only turned up the samba HOWTO.

Thanks for the help.

/etc/init.d/webmin restart

Thanks for the quick reply cesman; as I originally posted, however, when I try /etc/init.d/webmin restart it replies "start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill (number): No such process."

(Number) is different each time I try it, btw.

EDIT: OK, this is annoying: I tried /etc/init.d/webmin restart just to confirm the warning. I got the warning. Just for fun, I tried it again immediately, and now it says it has restarted.

So I'm happy it's restarted, but now my question is, what's up with the warning?

ANOTHER EDIT: although it claimed it restarted, it hadn't as none of the edits I made to my conf file went into effect. After restarting the machine (i.e. giving up) webmin used the edited conf file and things worked as they should.

It didn't let me restart, apparently, because I had just started up webmin manually... I hadn't set it to load at startup and rebooted.

Once I did that, doing /etc/init.d/webmin restart worked as it should.

Thanks.
