Public bug reported: The weborf(1) manual page says, when describing the --cache (-C) option, "[...] To flush the cache (empty that directory) you must send SIGUSR2 to the process. It is advised to flush the cache on reboot (manually or with kill) because some items might be invalid after a reboot but weborf would not know that."
However, actually doing a `kill -SIGUSR2 <pid>' will kill the `weborf' process; furthermore, an examination of the source code not only finds there is no current SIGUSR2 functionality, it appears there never has been! That man page statement was added in the original caching commit, https://github.com/ltworf/weborf/commit/f21ee4b1ac02 ("Added --cache option"), but no SIGUSR2 handler was added (or exists); and the (also-added) daemon control script (`daemon/weborf' in that commit) does *not* the SIGUSR2 (if the daemon is running). I consider this a highly confusing error in the end-user documentation; as such, I am (obviously) presuming the daemon works correctly if the contents of its cache dir are simply removed (even if it is running), which is what the control script is doing.
