update.ini File

The update.ini initialization file controls what information is updated when Steel-Belted Radius Carrier receives a SIGHUP (1) or SIGUSR2 (17) signal, which is sent by means of the signal command.

When Steel-Belted Radius Carrier receives a SIGHUP (1) or SIGUSR2 (17) signal, it performs the tasks specified in the [HUP] and [USR2] sections of the update.ini file. You can perform tasks selectively by modifying update.ini to toggle specific settings; for example, you can issue a SIGHUP (1) signal to initiate one set of tasks, and then modify update.ini and issue another SIGHUP (1) signal to initiate a different set of tasks.

The update.ini file installed with Steel-Belted Radius Carrier causes Steel-Belted Radius Carrier to re-read all settings when it receives a SIGHUP (1) signal and to clear its statistics when it receives a SIGUSR2 (17) signal.

[HUP] and [USR2] Sections

The [HUP] section of update.ini specifies what tasks Steel-Belted Radius Carrier performs when it receives a SIGHUP (1) signal. The [USR2] section of update.ini specifies what tasks Steel-Belted Radius Carrier performs when it receives a SIGUSR2 (17) signal.
