How to reload (not restart) CUPS in RHEL 6, 7, and 8
Issue
- We would like to reload CUPS using something like "
service cups reload
". This option appears to be missing from thesystemd
scripts and I can only see a restart option. - How can we get CUPS to reload it's configuration files without restarting it?
- What will sending a
HUP
signal to CUPS do?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6, 7, and 8
- Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.4.2, 1.6.3, 2.2.6
