Signal Handling

Anetd catches the following signals:

• SIGINT: causes Anetd to perform a semi-orderly shutdown. Upon receipt of SIGINT, Anetd also attempts to terminate all running child processes (EEs) that have the autokill option set (the default). Anetd terminates child processes by sending them, in order, the signals SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGKILL until either the process terminates or each signal has been sent. See also the KILL command.
• SIGHUP: causes Anetd to reinitialize, including reloading of its configuration file(s) and refetching and reloading of all ACL and TCL files. Reinitialization does not include shutdown or restart of EEs.
• SIGUSR1: causes Anetd to reload its ACL and TCL files (master and local) without refetching the master files from the ACL/TCL server.
