Is there a way to easily make udev re-process the rules database?
The scenario I found was when I was messing with rules that applied to
ttyS[0-3]. I would change a rule, and then I couldn't figure out how to
simulate a removal/insertion event to test the new rule.
Yes, I could use some udev tools to get a simulation of what the rules
would do, but that's not the same thing. And, depending on what I was
changing, the simulation would not give me correct information about what
would happen.
I wound up doing a lot of rebooting... but is there an easier way?
Matt
