Mailing List Archive: adding new consoles

I work in an dynamic environment where we need to add more consoles,
periodically; thus we need to execute:

conserver -d -C <conserer.cf file> -P <conserver.passwd file>

whenever we need to add more consoles to our 'conserver.cf' file.

If I execute the above command, I beleive I need to kill all of the
'conserver' processes first. But, by doing so, this will knock
eveyone out of their console connections who are already connected.

QUESTION?

So, how do I add more consoles witout distrupting other users??

Can I run the above command with a 'conserver.cf' file that just
has the new consoles to add?

Or can I add another entry in the /etc/services file and pass
a port option?

Looking for suggestions!
Thanks for any help!!

Brian -
I have a job that runs nightly which auto-generates conserver.cf. The
script also sends a HUP to conserver without affecting any
already-connected users.

Cheers,
Peter
