How to mimic '(Save and) Apply" from CLI?

For Developers
1

I can use uci to change settings in (presumed) RAM, and then 'uci commit' to save to NVRAM. How to I then 'apply' these new settings, from the CLI?

2

You have to restart the service whose settings you have changed:

/etc/init.d/service_name restart

3

OpenWrt hasn't used NVRAM anymore since the times of White Russian AFAIK.

Applying settings is indeed done by restarting or reloading the related service.

4

Execute /sbin/reload_config - this mostly simulates what an apply through LuCI would do.

Thx, that's the silver bullet I sought!

(Thx to pavelgl for their morsel of useful info as well, which may serve me later.)
