How to restart cow?

[polinzhuo]

I run cow in background on Linux, by " sudo nohup cow". But I cannot find the process, by "ps" command. When I want to restart cow, the error comes up "the address has been in use." How to restart cow?

Maybe you can try ps aux | grep cow Works for me

Also sending SIGUSR1 do a reload on configs (actually restart cow)

[overcache]

pkill cow

try init.d or systemd script, then you can use sudo service cow start | stop | restart
