+* lighttpd responds to the following signals:
+
+SIGTERM - shut down immediately (terminate existing connections, then exit)
+SIGINT  - shut down gracefully  (serve existing connections, then exit)
+SIGUSR1 - reload gracefully     (serve existing connections, then reload config)
+SIGHUP  - re-open log files     (NOTE: does not reload lighttpd configuration)
+
+(Note: SIGUSR1 behavior is available in lighttpd 1.4.46 and later)

+The current recommended way to reload lighttpd config is to gracefully stop
+and then to restart lighttpd.
+
+With lighttpd 1.4.46 and later, SIGUSR1 is the recommended method to gracefully
+handle configuration reloads and log rotation, though a graceful stop and then
+restart of lighttpd is still required for lighttpd configurations which chroot.

+
+Depending on the operating system and distribution brand, there are many
+ways to set up lighttpd to run as a daemon when the system starts up, and
+to send signals to lighttpd for start/stop/restart/etc.
+
+Rather than attempting to maintain scripts for an unknown number of distros,
+here are links to a few, which can be used as examples.
