Changing access permissions without re-starting the database

[Carlos]

Hi Forum,

Is there a way to change the database access permissions for different IP
addresses without having to re-start PostgreSQL? I often want to preclude
all IP address but one from accessing the database. Currently, I change the
pg_hba.conf file and re-start the database but I would like to be able to do
the same thing without having to re-start.



Thanks in advance for your response

Try pg_ctl reload instead of pg_ctl restart
