Hi,

is there some good reason, why the zebra daemon doesn't support
reloading the configuration on SIGHUP? All other daemons implement this
feature.

I admit that it's not as easy as shutdown everything, load config, start
vty handler, but most configuration should be possible without
disrupting service?!

ripd and bgp daemon reload configuration on sighup
even isisd do that but imho, in a awful way..
ospf is the one which do not perform any configuration reload and should
be fixed...

ospf6d does it the same way as isisd (close everything, execve), while
ripngd is doing it properly.

as does zebra -- just a dummy:

zebra/main.c:
/* SIGHUP handler. */
void
sighup (void)
{
zlog_info ("SIGHUP received");

/* Reload of config file. */
;
}
