Full Discussion: Hup
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Hup Post 3836 by LivinFree on Thursday 12th of July 2001 02:19:55 AM

I'm curious. I was under the impression that it was simply a certain type of kill signal, in this case on a "hang up", or disconnection by the user running the process. I know certain processes restart on a HUP signal, but is that always the case, or is that simply how they handle that signal in a specific instance? For example , if I killall -HUP inetd, I know it will restart the inted daemon, re-reading all config files. But when I killall -HUP pppd, it literally hangs up...

Am I mistaken?
