5 Use of signals.
A running dirmngr may be controlled by signals, i.e. using
the kill command to send a signal to the process.
Here is a list of supported signals:
SIGHUP
- This signals flushes all internally cached CRLs as well as any cached
certificates. Then the certificate cache is reinitialized as on
startup. Options are re-read from the configuration file.
SIGTERM
- Shuts down the process but waits until all current requests are
fulfilled. If the process has received 3 of these signals and requests
are still pending, a shutdown is forced.
SIGINT
- Shuts down the process immediately.
SIGUSR1
- This prints some caching statistics to the log file.
