SIGNALS
       On  receipt of a SIGHUP, the daemon will close and reopen its log file,
       and reread the configuratoin file.

       On receipt of a SIGUSR1, the daemon dumps the currently loaded configu‐
       ration into the log file.

       On  receipt  of	a  SIGUSR2,  the daemon saves its state into the state
       file.
