Turns out sending conntrackd a -HUP signal causes it to die. I can not
find any documentation/reference on what signals conntrackd accepts,
is there one to tell it to reload its config? We are running
conntrackd 0.9.14
Can you also clarify the effect of restarting conntrackd, is it a safe
operation to do? Will it cause any interruption to connections? Will
it re-sync with the kernel state table? Will it re-sync with its peer?
