Cherokee-Admin is all you need to interact with Cherokee. However, should you want to tap directly into the underlying communication mechanism you would need to send the supported signals to the cherokee process.

If needed it will relay the appropriate signals to any cherokee-worker instances.

The following signals are supported by Cherokee:

Parameters Description

SIGHUP

Restarts the server gracefully

SIGUSR1

Restarts the server closing all the opened connections

SIGUSR2

Reopens the log files

SIGTERM

Exits
