According to the docs on the website
(http://moxy.sourceforge.net/config.html#dbtype),
"[...] the db may be updated on the fly without
affecting Moxy [...]" - which doesn't work,
unfortunately, because moxy obviously keeps the gdbm
file open all the time:
[root@gateway2]:~/usrlocal/etc/moxy# ls -l /proc/31347/fd/
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Mar 20 14:30
3 -> /dev/tty
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Mar 20 14:30
4 -> /var/log/moxy/moxy.log
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Mar 20 14:30
5 -> /dev/pts/10
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar 20 14:30
6 -> /usr/local/stow/moxy-0.1-3/etc/moxy/moxy.gdbm
l-wx------ 1 root root 64 Mar 20 14:30
7 -> pipe:[916616]
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Mar 20 14:30
8 -> socket:[940320]
This leads to the following error message when trying
to update the gdbm database:
[root@gateway2]:~/usrlocal/etc/moxy# moxymakedbm -o
moxy.gdbm moxy.db
Could not open moxy.gdbm: Can't be writer
