if i have something that i wanted changed in the server and i need to 'make' for it.. is it alright if i make while the server is running and then when its done i restart the server to save sometime for the downtime?

I guess that depends on whether your OS allows you to overwrite a file that is currently in use...

Generally you have to use a different directory, or at least just rename the ircd binary.

i have RH9, and i can make over the running ircd... but prolly should do "make clean; make" instead of just "make"... if you are making a module then no need for even a restart

Including binaries (on *NIX, for example, src/ircd, *.o and *.so files). This makes sure you'll recompile everything and therefore you won't mix old binaries with new ones. Handy.
