+
+ <para>To shut down a user's <command>afpd</command> process it is
+ recommended that <command>SIGKILL (-9)</command>
+ <emphasis>NOT</emphasis> be used, except as a last resort, as this
+ may leave the CNID database in an inconsistent state. The safe way
+ to terminate an <command>afpd</command> is to send it a
+ <command>SIGTERM (-15)</command> signal and wait for it to die on
+ its own.</para>
+ <para>SIGTERM and SIGUSR1 signals that are sent to the main <command>afpd</command> process
+ are propagated to the children, so all will be affected.</para>

+ <term>SIGINT</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Sending a <command>SIGINT</command> to a child

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>SIGUSR1</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The <command>afpd</command> process will send the message "The
+ server is going down for maintenance." to the client and shut itself
+ down in 5 minutes. New connections are not allowed. If this is sent
+ to a child afpd, the other children are not affected. However, the
+ main process will still exit, disabling all new connections.</para>

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>SIGUSR2</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>The <command>afpd</command> process will look in the message
+ directory configured at build time for a file named message.pid. For
+ each one found, a the contents will be sent as a message to the
+ associated AFP client. The file is removed after the message is
+ sent. This should only be sent to a child
+ <command>afpd</command>.</para>
