Reload Function

[webilix]

Hi,

As you know, there is 4 option for each service in Service Monitor page in Admin Level ... Start, Stop, Restart and Reload ...
Whould you please tell me what does RELOAD really do?

I'm not sure if DA writes specific code depending on the OS; if it does, then for linux it might send a reload command to the file at /etc/rc.d/init.d/daemonname

More likely it's not version specific and sends the SIGHUP signal to the daemon.

Most daemons, when they get the SIGHUP signal, reload and reread their configuration files.

It's quicker than restarting.

But depending on the daemon, it may not reset everything a restart command will.
