Restarting the FastCgi dispatcher

To restart fastcgidispatch, use:
kill -9

Once the web server restarts the dispatcher, the dispatcher uses the session table to reconnect to the various proxies. The applications are still maintained by proxies, are still running, and once the dispatcher is relaunched, the user can continue his or her work.

Ctrl + C or sending SIGTERM will stop the standalone dispatcher, and in both cases the dispatcher will request all proxies to stop.The fastcgi dispatcher will stop sessions on Ctrl-C as well if started in standalone mode - but not on SIGTERM.

With kill -9 the dispatcher process is killed yet the sessions remain alive and untouched. When the dispatcher is restarted,the sessions continue to be active.
