I need to run gdc reconfig after I am done. This DOES NOT restart gated.
If you want to restart gatec then do a gdc restart or gdc stop then gdc
start. I would suggest you work with the GRF and then say what it can or
cant do. It would be almost impossible to work with a box that would
restart every time you wanted to change the configs.
I seem to have made a mistake in terms here. gdcreconfig doesn't
*restart* gated, but it does/did disrupt it when ran before.
I haven't messed with a GRF in about 4 months or so now, so they may have
changed this. I have had a couple of personal mails as well as mails to
this list that have suggested this.

This was the case when I was at AGIS a few months back. This again, may
have been fixed.
