Hello,
Slightly confused about how to re-read the clamd config file. I can, of
course, stop and start the service, which will re-read it, but does a
HUP signal do it as well?
As far as I can tell the recognised signals to clamd are (from
clamdoc.pdf):
TERM - to stop the process
HUP - to re-open the log file
USR2 - to reload the signature databases
However, the contributed RedHat startup script (in
'./contrib/init/RedHat/dmesg') for its 'reload' function states:
reload() {
echo -n $"Reloading clam daemon configuration: "
killproc clamd -HUP
which seems to imply that a HUP will reload the clamd config file.
Is this correct or not?
Thanks,
John.
