A method to update your pound version
Sietjp <sietjp(at)free.fr>		 2007-04-09 16:32:31 [ SNIP ] 
Hi,
Could somebody give us the most efficient way to update pound on a server? I
mean the way to avoid as much as possible the time where the server will be
down.
Thanks ,
JP

Just to be more clear in my request, I mean a step by step description, as
detailed as possible. A "update your pound for the dummies" if you see what I
mean.

- Download pound, build, install.
$ sudo su -
# pound -cv
# pkill pound && sleep 1 && pound

So, ~1 second downtime.

Alternatively, setup a 2nd LB (you know why you need 2, right?), cutover 
to that one, do your upgrade on the first, cut back, upgrade the 2nd.

Do you mean update the application to a newer version, or do you mean
update the configuration?
