configuration file. As usual, if an option is given both at
the command line and in the configuration file, the command
line option takes precedence.
+
+ 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.
