- Process Signals Relevant to the Operation of EPIC
-
- EPIC's behavior can be controlled (to an extent) from the Unix command line
- via signals. The following signals have notable affects on the client:
-
- SIGSEGV cause the client to dump core, if compiled with EPIC_DEBUG
- SIGTERM cause the client to immediately, but gracefully, exit
- SIGKILL cause the client to die immediately, no cleanup
- SIGUSR1 cause the client to close all DCC connections and any EXECed
- processes that are still active
-
- Typically, these signals are delivered with kill(1). The client's process
- id (PID) must be known to send it a signal. The PID may be obtained with the
- ps(1) command, or other utilities that display running processes. The basic
- form would be:
-
- % kill -USR1 <PID>
-
- Refer to your system's manual pages for more information.
