I am using RedHat Linux 5.4 for Oracle database. I made some changes in Linux kernel and after changes restart is mandatory for effect, but due to time consuming and application criticality i can’t afford to restart the server, how I can perform this task on running server to avoid the restart.

You would do this rather than the above instructions. This can be the harder organic remedy with regard to these kinds of methods, but you'll need to restart the machine or perhaps utilize the sysctl program for it to take impact. You need to append the next in your /etc/sysctl.conf:
Mandatory system restart is required if some changes are made in the system, for example after installing an application. This is necessary for the changes to the system to take effect. But if you have some very critical tasks that are currently loaded and you can’t have your system be restarted, there is an easy way to avoid the mandatory rebooting of the computer.
Here is how it is done using Windows XP. If you have other versions of Windows or you are using a different operating system, just try adapting the procedure.
That’s it you’ve already restarted Windows Explorer. It’s as if you’ve already rebooted the computer.
