chmod 744 /etc/resolv.conf
it's probably not readable by others.

C'mon! You normally never have to reboot to change something unless the
target of the change is the kernel itself. (i don't recall any specific
examples for the contrary).

on redhat,
/etc/rc.d/ini.d/<program> {start|stop|restart|reload|status} 
is the best way to handle services.

manually, "gpm&" (after you've killed it!) works just fine.
