To re-quote what I originally asked (and you quoted in your response): >>>>> Are there any signals I can send to clamd to tell it to reload its >>>>> config files? I've tried -HUP, -USR1 and -USR2, and I don't see >>>>> anything in clamd (8) about a command that clamd can take to reload >>>>> configs (only reloading database files).
