+       However, there is an important exception to this rule:
+       If the --run option was given (see below) then dss honors
+       SIGHUP and re-reads its configuration file whenever it
+       receives this signal. In this case the options in the config
+       file override any options that were previously given at the
+       command line. This allows to change the configuration of a
+       running dss process on the fly by sending SIGHUP.
+
+       Note that it is not possible to change whether dss runs as
+       background daemon by sending SIGHUP.
