SIGNALS

       On  receipt  of  a  SIGHUP,  the daemon will close and reopen its log file, and reread the
       configuration file.

       On receipt of a SIGUSR1, the daemon dumps the currently loaded configuration into the  log
       file.

       On receipt of a SIGUSR2, the daemon saves its state into the state file.
