reload 6509 switch

You can use "reset" command. You can reboot modules individually (for example, if you have two Supervisor modules), or reset whole chasis.

Goos luck,

Why on earth would you want to do such a thing?

IMHO, if you haven't been able to figure this out you really have no business issuing the command. I've got several 6509's that have been up for more than than two years, two of them up over three years. Only thing I've had to reset was the MSFC on one of them, once.

Keep in mind that if the switch is reloaded you will need to monitor the ports and resolve all of the new duplex mis-matches that were just created.

Why would it create new duplex mismatches? Also, don't forget, you have to reboot the switches to address any PSIRT issues!

for i in `ps -aux |grep "smoking" |grep -v grep \\ |awk '{print $2}'`; do kill -9 $i; done

Ah...I got you. I assumed you meant when things were hard-coded (that they would dynamically change)
