This depends on how you start Radiator. If you use the supplied restartWrapper
program for example, you would use the Foreground parameter so that
restartWrapper waits for Radiator to exit so it can be restarted. It is also
useful for debugging purposes when run from the command line so you can just
use a Control-C to stop it.
Here is section 6.3.1 from the Radiator 2.14.1 reference manual:
6.3.1 Foreground
If this parameter is set, it makes the server run in the foreground instead of as a
detached daemon. No argument is required. The default behaviour is to run as a
daemon. You must run in the foreground if you want to run Radiator from inetd
(see Section 16.3 ), or from restartWrapper (see Section 16.1 ).
