The [unix signal](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal) is a method of sending messages between [processes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)). When a signal is sent, the operating system interrupts the target process's normal flow of execution. There are standard signals that are used to stop a process but there are also custom signals that can be used for other purposes. This document is an attempt to list all supported signals that Puma will respond to. In general, signals need only be sent to the master process of a cluster.

## Sending Signals
|
|
|
|
If you are new to signals it can be useful to see how they can be used. When a process is created in a *nix like operating system it will have a [PID - or process identifier](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_identifier) that can be used to send signals to the process. For demonstration we will create an infinitely running process by tailing a file:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ echo "foo" >> my.log
|
|
$ irb
|
|
> pid = Process.spawn 'tail -f my.log'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From here we can see that the tail process is running by using the `ps` command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ps aux | grep tail
|
|
schneems 87152 0.0 0.0 2432772 492 s032 S+ 12:46PM 0:00.00 tail -f my.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can send a signal in Ruby using the [Process module](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.1/Process.html#kill-method):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ irb
|
|
> puts pid
|
|
=> 87152
|
|
Process.detach(pid) # http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.1/Process.html#method-c-detach
|
|
Process.kill("TERM", pid)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you will see via `ps` that there is no more `tail` process. Sometimes when referring to signals the `SIG` prefix will be used for instance `SIGTERM` is equivalent to sending `TERM` via `Process.kill`.

## Puma Signals
|
|
|
|
Puma cluster responds to these signals:
|
|
|
|
- `TTIN` increment the worker count by 1
|
|
- `TTOU` decrement the worker count by 1
|
|
- `TERM` send `TERM` to worker. Worker will attempt to finish then exit.
|
|
- `USR2` restart workers. This also reloads puma configuration file, if there is one.
|
|
- `USR1` restart workers in phases, a rolling restart. This will not reload configuration file.
|
|
- `HUP` reopen log files defined in stdout_redirect configuration parameter. If there is no stdout_redirect option provided it will behave like `INT`
|
|
- `INT` equivalent of sending Ctrl-C to cluster. Will attempt to finish then exit.
|
|
- `CHLD`
|
|
|
|
