* 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.
