+SIGNALS
+=======
+
+:code:`SIGHUP`
+ Cause OpenVPN to close all TUN/TAP and network connections, restart,
+ re-read the configuration file (if any), and reopen TUN/TAP and network
+ connections.
+
+:code:`SIGUSR1`
+ Like :code:`SIGHUP``, except don't re-read configuration file, and
+ possibly don't close and reopen TUN/TAP device, re-read key files,
+ preserve local IP address/port, or preserve most recently authenticated
+ remote IP address/port based on ``--persist-tun``, ``--persist-key``,
+ ``--persist-local-ip`` and ``--persist-remote-ip`` options respectively
+ (see above).
+
+ This signal may also be internally generated by a timeout condition,
+ governed by the ``--ping-restart`` option.
+
+ This signal, when combined with ``--persist-remote-ip``, may be sent
+ when the underlying parameters of the host's network interface change
+ such as when the host is a DHCP client and is assigned a new IP address.
+ See ``--ipchange`` for more information.
+
+:code:`SIGUSR2`
+ Causes OpenVPN to display its current statistics (to the syslog file if
+ ``--daemon`` is used, or stdout otherwise).
+
+:code:`SIGINT`, :code:`SIGTERM`
+ Causes OpenVPN to exit gracefully.
