[rt-users] RT380: Adding custom Status

[Drew Barnes]

It is very bad practice to modify RT_Config rather than RT_SiteConfig 
since upgrades will overwrite RT_Config. ALL changes that are 
site-specific should go in RT_SiteConfig.

To answer the question asked, I have a script that I run whenever I make 
changes to my RT:
service httpd stop
rm -rf /usr/local/rt3/var/mason_data/*
service httpd start
