Installing updated cccam.cfg file

On my previous set-up, using a DM500HD as the card server, then whenever I made changes to cccam.cfg all I had to do was copy it across to the /etc filder and it was live straight away.

On my new set-up, using a Linux-based PC, I need to copy it to a temporary directory and then run a script that stops cccam, copies the file and then restarts cccam.

Can anyone explain why there is this difference and is it really necessary on the Linux PC to stop/start cccam?

I'll give it a try, but, assumed that because the script did a stop/start of cccam then this is what it had to do!

If I can just edit directly then that would be perfect!!!!
