Please explain the -HUP in the following:
/sbin/killall -HUP httpd
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
My man page says only: Signals can be specified either by name (e.g. -HUP) or by number (e.g. -1).
If you issue a “killall httpd”, is a -HUP implied?
Where I’m going with this is I’m trying to add a logrotation in logrotate.d, and I see these ‘killall’. I’d think that this would shut down the web server & log daemon.
