[SmartcardServices-Users] com.apple.ctkpcscd - refresh /usr/local/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers

All,

1. In OS X 10.11;

I was wondering if there was a way to gracefully refresh com.apple.ctkpcscd (child process of securityd, seems to be a framework launched by /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ctkd.plist) to detect new drivers in /usr/local/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers to avoid needing a restart.

A launchctl unload/load doesn’t do the trick, and (i know this is dumb, but i was exploring the behavior) a killall securityd doesn’t either.

2. Is there an equivalent mechanism in OS X 10.7->10.10?

If there isn’t a public way to do this, we’ll deal with the restart happily.

Thanks!
