SUMMARY: reconfiguration without reboot under Solaris 2.5

There are 2 approaches to this:

(1) You can force a reconfiguration re-boot, which means you don't need
    to access the prom:

        # touch /reconfigure
        # init 6

(2) Or you can do a "live" reconfiguration, requiring no reboot, which is
    what I wanted:

        #!/bin/csh
        #
        # script to do live reconfiguration of device drivers
        #
        /usr/sbin/drvconfig
        /usr/sbin/devlinks
        /usr/sbin/disks
        /usr/sbin/ports
        /usr/sbin/tapes
        /usr/sbin/audlinks
        /usr/ucb/ucblinks

cheers,
Brett
