Updating the Relay Server Configuration File

Use the rshost utility to propagate changes in the relay server configuration file to a running instance of the relay server running on the same machine. Repeat this process on each node on which a relay server is installed.

  1. Stop the relay server.
  2. Change the configuration file as required.
  3. From the command line, run the utility with this exact syntax: rshost -u -f <filename>

    The -u option instructs rshost to detect configuration updates and apply them to the currently running relay server. The -f option is used to specify the new configuration file.

  4. Restart the relay server.
  5. Repeat these steps for all relay servers.
