[Bluez-users] How do I get rfcomm to reread config file?

[Bluez-users] How do I get rfcomm to reread config file?

[Gene Imes]

I am posting again because my first post did not get a reply.

I have several bluetooth gps receivers. In /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf I 
have their MAC address listed but commented out except the one I want to 
use. However, when change and restart the bluetooth service the new 
address is not picked up and the old one is still by rfcomm.

How can I get rfcomm to pick up the new MAC?

/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:

rfcomm0 {
         # Automatically bind the device at startup
         bind yes;

         # Bluetooth address of the device
         #device 00:08:1B:C0:D3:1F;
         #device 00:0B:0D:18:15:4F;
         #GPSlim240
         device 00:0B:0D:6D:E2:E6;

         # RFCOMM channel for the connection
#       channel 1;
}

My bluez is 3.18 on Gentoo.

Thanks for any help,

calling "rfcomm unbind all" and then "rfcomm bind all" should work.

rfcomm release all
rfcomm bind all

is one way to do it.
