how restart SSH server

[mischaq]

hi modders

how can i restart DS's ssh server without complete reboot of the DS, so that the ssh-server adapts to a changed sshd_config-file?

thanks!

I use these two commands:

killall sshd
/usr/syno/etc.defaults/rc.d/S95sshd.sh start

[mischaq]

is there a difference between them?
which one should i use (i guess i just enter them in a "Diskstation>"-Prompt...also when logged in via ssh?)

..many thanks

Yes, there certainly is a difference. The first one stops the ssh server, and the second starts it again.
And I don't recommend doing it while logged in via ssh. As soon as you type the first command, the ssh server is shut down, and then you are disconnected. Do this using telnet instead.

ok - thanks...sorry for my noobness

[mischaq]

what about "/etc/init.d/sshd restart"

...found this searching the froum for restart sshd

cheers, mischaq

The directory "init.d" doesn't even exist, so that won't work at all.
At least I don't have it on my 107+ with the newest firmware.

I use the following:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/syno/etc.defaults/rc.d/
./S95sshd.sh restart &

You will loose your SSH session, but at least with the '&' sign, the script will run in the background and the daemon will restart. Easier than going via a Telnet session, though you could want to have one just in case you messed you sshd config...
