Process Signals Relevant to the Operation of ircII-EPIC Release 3

EPIC's behavior can be controlled (to an extent) from the Unix command line
via signals.  The following signals have notable affects on the client:

   SIGSEGV   cause the client to dump core, if compiled with EPIC_DEBUG
   SIGTERM   cause the client to immediately, but gracefully, exit
   SIGKILL   cause the client to die immediately, no cleanup
   SIGUSR1   cause the client to close all DCC connections and any EXECed
             processes that are still active

Typically, these signals are delivered with kill(1).  The client's process
id (PID) must be known to sendit a signal.  The PID may be obtained with the
ps(1) command, or other utilities that display running processes.  The basic
form would be:

   % kill -USR1 <PID>
