[cobalt-users] strange message?



Hey All,

I found this in my httpd error log recently which was rather
interesting.  Can anyone explain?

[Tue Oct 17 20:24:13 2000] [notice] SIGUSR1 received.  Doing graceful
restart
[Tue Oct 17 20:24:18 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21

[Tue Oct 17 20:24:18 2000] [warn] long lost child came home! (pid 17003)



Is this some kind of mountaind-dew spiked, three-am programmer's easter
egg joke ("long lost child came home!"), or does it indicate something I
should be worried about?  Why would a SIGUSR1 messsage have been
received when I don't recall rebooting httpd...?  I >did< perform a few
maintenance items in the GUI just before looking at my log however?

Thanks for any comments anyone might provide!,
