I found /sbin/udevstart but there is no udevstop. Can I kill -1 the running udevd, or do I kill -9 the udevd followed by a udevstart, or do I have to reboot?
TIA

Not certain on this but my gut tells me it'd be bad to kill udev on a running system. -Dan

Umm, thanks, but no. udevd is just another userspace process AFAICT. If it weren't running then the worst that could happen is that some dynamic device creation would not happen.
Anyone else on how to restart?

The udevd man page is your friend.
"udevd receives the events from udevsend If udevd isn't already running, udevsend will start it."

Run /sbin/start_udev? It seems to kill udevd before starting udevd. It's run by /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, which is run by /etc/inittab for si. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com ' http://www.georgeanelson.com/
Just in case anyone is still wondering about this question, the easiest way to get udev to look at the bus again is udevtrigger. And its fine to do it on a running machine. I'm testing udev rules and it works well for that. Saves a lot of time over rebooting.
man udevtrigger is your friend. :)

Where is this mythical friend? It's not part of udev.

It is at least on fc6:
[mpeters@atlantis ~]$ rpm -qf /sbin/udevtrigger udev-095-17.fc6
