HUP signal stops Tomcat?

[Kieron Wilkinson <ki...@viewgate.com>]

Hi,

This is rather academic and purely to enhance consistency, but when I send a
HUP signal to the Tomcat process I expected it to restart, but it actually
stopped the process. Is this behaviour by design?

If I submitted a fix/change for this, or put it in as a request - is it
likely to be included?

Thanks for any help,

Kieron Wilkinson

Tomcat is written in Java which has no concept of signals as they are not
consistantly available on all platforms.  It is this unlikely that Tomcat
could ever support such signals.  Run in conjunction with Apache or some
other Web Server yes it can, but on its own, no.
