- * lighttpd responds to the following signals:
- SIGTERM - shut down immediately (terminate existing connections, then exit)
- SIGINT - shut down gracefully (serve existing connections, then exit)
- SIGUSR1 - reload gracefully (serve existing connections, then reload config)
- SIGHUP - re-open log files (NOTE: does not reload lighttpd configuration)
- (Note: SIGUSR1 behavior is available in lighttpd 1.4.46 and later)
- * lighttpd graceful restart
- https://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2005/09/02/graceful-restart/
- The current recommended way to reload lighttpd config is to gracefully stop
- and then to restart lighttpd.
- With lighttpd 1.4.46 and later, SIGUSR1 is the recommended method to gracefully
- handle configuration reloads and log rotation, though a graceful stop and then
- restart of lighttpd is still required for lighttpd configurations which chroot.
- * lighttpd initscripts
- Depending on the operating system and distribution brand, there are many
- ways to set up lighttpd to run as a daemon when the system starts up, and
- to send signals to lighttpd for start/stop/restart/etc.
- Rather than attempting to maintain scripts for an unknown number of distros,
- here are links to a few, which can be used as examples.
