SIGNALS: Here follows a list of supported signals and their meaning; remember that pmacct core says goodbye when its last child dies or is terminated. pmacctd/nfacctd/sfacctd Core process: SIGCHLD: used to handle gracefully his loved child processes; SIGHUP: causes the reopening of connection with syslog daemon; SIGUSR1: returns various statistics via either console or syslog; the syslog level reserved for such purpose is NOTICE; the facility is selected through configuration (ie key 'syslog'). It works for all pmacctd/nfacctd/sfacctd; SIGUSR2: if 'refresh_maps' configuration directive is enabled it causes the Pre-Tagging map to be reloaded; SIGINT: ignored if the daemon is started in background; else the signal is propagated to each running plugin (which is in turn gracefully terminated); SIGTERM: not handled (which means it follows the default behaviour for the OS) if the daemon is started in background; else it works like SIGINT; SIGPIPE: ignored; MySQL plugin process: SIGPIPE: ignored; SIGCHLD: ignored; SIGHUP: inherited by Core Process; SIGUSR1: ignored; SIGUSR2: if 'refresh_maps' configuration directive is enabled it causes the Ports and Networks maps to be reloaded; SIGINT: causes the process to exit gracefully; PGSQL plugin process: SIGPIPE: ignored; SIGCHLD: ignored; SIGHUP: inherited by Core Process; SIGUSR1: ignored; SIGUSR2: if 'refresh_maps' configuration directive is enabled it causes the Ports and Networks maps to be reloaded; SIGINT: causes the process to exit gracefully; In-memory table process: SIGPIPE: ignored; SIGCHLD: ignored; SIGHUP: inherited by Core Process; SIGUSR1: ignored; SIGUSR2: if 'refresh_maps' configuration directive is enabled it causes the Ports and Networks maps to be reloaded; SIGINT: causes the process to exit gracefully; NetFlow probe process: SIGPIPE: ignored; SIGCHLD: ignored; SIGHUP: inherited by Core Process; SIGUSR1: ignored; SIGUSR2: if 'refresh_maps' configuration directive is enabled it causes the Ports and Networks maps to be reloaded; SIGINT: causes the process to exit gracefully; sFlow probe process: SIGPIPE: ignored; SIGCHLD: ignored; SIGHUP: inherited by Core Process; SIGUSR1: ignored; SIGUSR2: if 'refresh_maps' configuration directive is enabled it causes the Ports and Networks maps to be reloaded; SIGINT: causes the process to exit gracefully;
