apachectl -k graceful The USR1 or graceful signal causes the parent process to advise the children to exit after their current request (or to exit immediately if they're not serving anything). The parent re-reads its configuration files and re-opens its log files. As each child dies off the parent replaces it with a child from the new generation of the configuration, which begins serving new requests immediately. ________________________________________ From: satinders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:satinders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 13. juli 2005 06:40 To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] Restart without disconnecting clients Hi, On Linux, can we make Apache (2.0.50) re-read and apply new configuration (new virtual host, changed IP of a existing virtual host, etc) without disconnecting the existing clients for whom there is no configuration change? same is needed for ssl connections.
