I did not quite understand the problem. Can you explain in a bit more detail? Today scripts wanting to use SIGHUP to reload can implement do_reload() similar to the way do_reload_sigusr1() is implemented. Those wanting SIGUSR1 can use do_reload_sigusr1() by providing it as an alias for do_reload(). What more is needed? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
