Hello Alexander,
you're right, catching up with all the running session and restoring the
full internal state would be a nightmare. I think it is doable but too
difficult (and labour-costly) to get it right. Regarding the need for
graceful restart support anyway, I don't see much of a good
Hello Maria,
Regarding restarts, I think the killer feature might be some sort of
restart, when bird execs a new binary, keeping all the file descriptors
open and its state somehow. So the new instance could transparently catch
up with all the running sessions, etc. It can serialize the internal

It's still possible to use systemctl kill --signal=USR2 bird2

Anyway, feel free to implement it, it should be like 10 lines of code. Sigusr2

Hello,
I run bird on a system which uses systemd as a service supervisor, and would
like to implement graceful restart in a way which works well with it.
In particular, what I'd like to do is:
• If I restart the bird service (e.g. for an upgrade), Bird performs a
graceful restart
• If I
