7.2 Debian claims to be able to update a running program; how is this
accomplished?
The kernel (file system) in Debian GNU/Linux systems supports replacing
files even while they're being used.
We also provide a program called start-stop-daemon which ...
Does that means that the following sequence should work:
/tmp$ cp -v /bin/sleep mysleep
/tmp$ (./mysleep 100 &); cp -v /bin/sleep mysleep
? I have a kernel compiled from the kernel-source deb. Yet the above
sequence fails:
/tmp$ cp -v /bin/sleep mysleep
`/bin/sleep' -> `mysleep'
/tmp$ ./mysleep 100 &
[4] 4618
/tmp$ cp -v /bin/sleep mysleep
`/bin/sleep' -> `mysleep'
cp: cannot create regular file `mysleep': Text file busy
/tmp$
Will that succeeds if I will install a kernel-image deb? If yes, what
is the patch and why it isn't included in the kernel-source deb? If
not, what does it mean that the _kernel (file system)_ in Debian
supports replacing files even while they're being used?
