If you change your existing MCS dictionary files, you must apply those
changes by running the makemctab command at the iNEWS console;
however, any monitor servers that are running at the time the command is
entered will not apply the changes. The monitor servers must be stopped
prior to running the makemctab command.

A system administrator who knows the device numbers for monitor
servers can choose to stop just those programs; however, it should be
done only during off-peak hours, when the monitor servers are not
used to monitor on-air shows.
