Perhaps historically, but not with regard to daemons in linux.
In that context, specifically in this case with regard to the logging daemon, it is as Sam and I mentioned, a signal to the daemon to re-initialize.
Trust me, HUP is still "hangup" -

Sigh.... We were trying to be helpful. You are trying to be pedantic. But since you insist, please explain to the OP why the logger daemon sees a hangup signal and keeps right on running. Try to make it perfectly clear, but DO by all means stick strictly to the definitions originally developed for Unix in the Pleistocene. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
