My goal is to be
able to reload the imapd.conf file for imap processes without impacting
currently connected subscribers.
I know that there
are some patches available to allow this to be done with a SIGHUP, but until
they are widely accepted and one is brought into the code thread, we will
probably shy away from it.
I was wondering if
another approach would be possible.
Is there any way
that anyone can think of of that would stop an imapd process from taking on new
connections without impacting the existing ones?
If there were, I
could block new connections for one process at a time and when all connections
were drained off, restart it.
Any other ideas
about how to accomplish this?
Thanks!
