    Hi all,

    On SunOS, to overwrite a dynamic library, our C++ developers simply copy it
    at the place of the old one:
    $ cp dynlibv1.0.so dynlibv1.1.so
    This works even if the dynamic library is running. Developers, then close
    the application and restart it.

    Doing this is apparently not possible with HP-UX if the dynamic library is
    running:
    $ cp dynlibv1.0.sl dynlibv1.1.sl
    | Error: library dynlibv1.0.sl is in use

    Is there a way to do it like on SunOS as the server is quite critical and I
    cannot reboot it !

    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Rgds
