As a companion to our “Restarting Haldaemon from the Command Line” piece (coming in handy after software update where you get those annoying ConfigServer firewall warnings “Suspicious process running under user dbus”), here’s what you need to do to restart dbus from the command line:
/etc/init.d/messagebus restart
Note: Your server configuration may vary.
Have a need to restart Haldaemon? I did, p0inted out from the ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) error report:
The file system shows this process is running an executable file that has been deleted. This typically happens when the original file has been replaced by a new file when the application is updated. To prevent this being reported again, restart the process that runs this excecutable file. See csf.conf and the PT_DELETED text for more information about the security implications of processes running deleted executable files.
From command line prompt: /etc/init.d/haldaemon restart
At least, that’s where it was on my system.
