RE: Re[2]: "lsnrctl reload listener" will not work on valid node

But the documentation says "This will not work on valid nodes." So you must have invalid nodes! :-) (Sometimes the docs behave like a invalid... unable to stand on their own! More than just lame.)

I've done this several times too but I thought I'd revisit the docs to see what they say then I really got confused. Gives new meaning to "rtFm!"

We ought to have a contest for most obtuse statement from the Oracle docs.

Well, I had to make fun of such obtuse documentation, regardless of whether the feature worked or not. ;)
