Is there a way to restart apt

[chrisbay90]

I have two sources.list file. A sources.list.proxy and a sources.list.noproxy, the first of wich points to apt-cacher on my home server and the other wich points directly to the regular repo's.

I have wicd run a script when i connect and disconect from my home network. One of the tasks being cp sources.list.proxy sources.list on connect and sources.list.noproxy sources.list on disconnect. However the repo's apt-get uses does not change until i restart my machine, clearly not a good solution. Is there a way of just restarting apt?

after you switch the files, you have to run:

sudo apt-get update

That worked great. Thank you sisco311.
