thttpd for Debian
-----------------
By default the stop, restart and force-reload actions for /etc/init.d/thttpd
terminate a running thttpd "gracefully", using SIGUSR1. From the thttpd(8)
manual:
This signal tells thttpd to shut down as soon as it's done servicing all
current requests. In addition, the network socket it uses to accept new
connections gets closed immediately, which means a fresh thttpd can be
started up immediately.
The non-standard action "force-stop" uses SIGTERM, which terminates thttpd
immediately and aborts any in-progress downloads.
By default logrotate will restart thttpd every time it rotates the logfile,
because it's the only way to get a chrooted thttpd to write to the correct file.
If you do not use the chroot option, you may wish to change the postrotate
script to:
## Tell thttpd to open new logfile iff already running.
test -f /var/run/thttpd.pid &&
kill -1 "`cat /var/run/thttpd.pid`"
Which "tells thttpd to close and re-open its (non-syslog) log file". If you use
syslog (i.e. no logfile option), then you can remove the postrotate script
entirely.
