Gracefully restart LiteSpeed

caution rootLiteSpeeddebian, ubuntu

Caution: This command changes the system. Understand what it does before you run it.

root@server
/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl restart

With LiteSpeed, restart is a graceful restart: new processes take over immediately, while old ones finish serving their active requests. Required after changes to the server configuration, or with OpenLiteSpeed after changes to .htaccess files, which are not reloaded automatically.

Note: A hard stop with lswsctrl stop, in contrast, drops all connections.
