Hi

sometimes it happens that fluxbox hangs and I would like to restart it. I
know I can restart it from the menu (and via keyboard?), but I remember
there is an option to restart fluxbox from a console via

killall -s ????  fluxbox

what is the signal I have to send to fluxbox to restart, so that my windows
stay open?

I know I could do

killall fluxbox

and then login again, but then all my programs would be closed.

Cheers,

Rainer
