+ + Signals +

On Unix systems, the Erlang runtime will interpret two types of signals.

+ + SIGUSR1 + +

A SIGUSR1 signal forces a crash dump.

+
+ SIGTERM + +

A SIGTERM will produce a stop message to the init process. + This is equivalent to a init:stop/0 call.

+

Introduced in ERTS 8.3 (Erlang/OTP 19.3)

+
+
+

The signal SIGUSR2 is reserved for internal usage. No other signals are handled.
