Description Christian Hoffmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-08 16:51:26 UTC 
Lighttpd has been supporting the graceful restart feature (maybe known from apache) since version 1.4.3 (~Sept 2005) and the Gentoo init script still doesn't implement it.

It would be nice to see this feature in the tree :)

Reproducible: Always

Patch for graceful restart option to lighttpd's init script

I attached a small patch to add the functionality to the init script, but I don't know whether to use `start-stop-daemon` (which hangs for ~5secs while gracefully stopping lighttpd, I don't know why) just to be more consistent or `kill` (which seems cleaner to me and works fine).
