Hi Fanco & Team,
Headline says all: I'm missing from beginning a "Reload All Services" Function in GUI.
Why there isn't such a useful function?
cheers,
Udo
Any reason to do something like that instead of rebooting?

No downtime? :)
Hi,
Eh, nobody asked for it yet? I regularly use it for testing purposes, but for this work I use the console option (especially with VM-based QA) because setting up and opening the GUI takes a lot longer. :)
The biggest question: how would we integrate it neatly into the GUI? A cron job would be easy but I can see the complaint that this is not a cron related workflow requirement...
Cheers,
Franco

That's easy. I suggest to create this "extra button" in list of "Services|Diagnostics|System".
Please think of it.

Udo
As a Service: All services? That's easy indeed but impractical and a clear UX violation as it influences all other services and not just itself while appearing as a single service. But I don't have a better idea either. ;)

How about a single Reload button on the title bar of System > Diagnostics > Services? It probably needs to show a confirmation pop-up before continuing, just to be safe.

My answer would be: Because this shouldn't ever be necessary. If you need to restart everything, something big is going wrong and you should better restart the firewall.
