Feature #2785
closedgraceful restart with SIGUSR1
Description
lighttpd should perform a graceful restart when SIGUSR1 is received; process id (pid) should not change
Limitations include (but might not be limited to) not working if lighttpd chroots (since config files and modules may not be present), and not being able to bind to new sockets on privileged ports requiring root privileges (if lighttpd has dropped privileges).

The following is not included in the upcoming patch, but is being considered.
Should lighttpd be modified to add graceful reload of configuration when lighttpd receives SIGHUP? Current lighttpd behavior is to just re-open error and access log files, and this should be preserved, but since reloading configuration on SIGHUP is a widely accepted convention, let's consider if lighttpd should add this behavior on SIGHUP, too.
