Signals
On Unix systems, the NATS server responds to the following signals:
Signal | Result |
---|---|
SIGKILL | Kills the process immediately |
SIGQUIT | Kills the process immediately and performs a core dump |
SIGINT | Stops the server gracefully |
SIGTERM | Stops the server gracefully |
SIGUSR1 | Reopens the log file for log rotation |
SIGHUP | Reloads server configuration file |
SIGUSR2 | Stops the server after evicting all clients (lame duck mode) |
The
nats-server
binary can be used to send these signals to running NATS servers using the -sl
flag:##Quit the server
nats-server --signal quit
nats-server --signal stop
nats-server --signal reopen
nats-server --signal reload
nats-server --signal ldm
If there are multiple
nats-server
processes running, or if pgrep
isn't available, you must either specify a PID or the absolute path to a PID file:nats-server --signal stop=<pid>
nats-server --signal stop=/path/to/pidfile
