Oh cool. Big thanks to Bernhard and Dom! ---------------------------------------- Bug #15078: document what USR2 actually does https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15078#change-65754 Author: Anand Kumria Status: Merged - Pending Release Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: documentation Target version: 2.7.18 Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/878 Checking into the logrotate script, I see that /etc/logrotate.d/puppetmaster uses: postrotate pkill -USR2 -u puppet -f puppetmasterd || true endscript Why does it use USR2? What special benefit does it confer that /etc/init.d/puppetmaster restart does not have? It is not documented anywhere, the best I could find was this thread from 2009. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04600.html -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
