NOTES
The following signals have the specified effect when sent
to the daemon process using the kill(1) command:
SIGHUP The daemon will re-read its configuration
file. The state of tests between the old con
figuration and the new configuration is pre
served if the test names do not change.
SIGUSR1 The daemon will write its running configura
tion to a file. The location of the file is
randomly generated at the time the signal is
received, and is logged to the daemon's log
file.
SIGUSR2 The daemon will write the state of all tests
to a file. The location of the file is ran
domly generated at the time the signal is
received, and is logged to the daemon's log
file.
