Hi guys,
This question is directed to roseway - excellent application.
I am running 64bit linux DSLstats (6.5) headlessly within Xvfb on a system without a display (./dslstats minimised startrecording), and it's very stable. I am however not able to interact with the GUI, so am directly editing the ~/.dslstats/dslstats.ini file and having to kill the running process and restart DSLstats. In doing so I am loosing whatever data has been cached within the process during the stop/start process.
My question is therefore, is it possible to send an ANSI C signal to the DSLstats process PID after editing the .ini file, in order for it to reread the config file without the need to restart the process SIGHUP, SIGUSR1 etc?
I have tried the obvious, but DSLstats doesn't currently seem able to handle the signal, and quits.
If not currently implemented, could it possibly be a feature request?
I know this application is used on Raspberry Pi's and I'm sure this would remove the need for VNC etc. and provide an alternate method to GUI administration.
SIGUSR1 to pause, SIGUSR2 to read config and start: e.g. kill -USR1 <pid> ; kill -USR2 <pid>
Many thanks for considering.
