Signals (sent with e.g. kill command)
A signal can be sent from the command line by typing e.g.kill -s SIGHUP pid, where the last parameter is the process ID which you get by typing ps -ef ¦ grep motion. The PID is the first on the list which is the parent process for the threads.
Motion responds to the following signals:
| Signal | Description | Editors comment |
|---|---|---|
| SIGHUP | The config file will be reread. | This is a very useful signal when you experiment with settings in the config file. |
| SIGTERM | If needed motion will create an mpeg file of the last event and exit | |
| SIGUSR1 | Motion will create an mpeg file of the current event. |
