Hi,
Normally, I would call "kill -HUP" with Stunnel's process ID to make it reload the configuration in Linux.
I was very surprised when I tried that and the process stopped. Why would HUP cause it to exit, rather than reload the config?
It doesn't do that on every machine.
Thanks.

Does it say anything in the logs?

Hmm. The log file is empty. Maybe I need to enable logging.

Hmm. I tried running it in the foreground to test. Receiving the HUP caused an error:

Ah. Oops. If this is stunnel from the official Debian package, this may be my fault: https://bugs.debian.org/987265
Are you running this on Debian? What version of Debian? If it is "testing" (what is soon to become Debian 11), could you try fetching the stunnel4_5.56+dfsg-10*.deb file for your architecture from https://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/stunnel4/ and installing that using `apt install ./stunnel4_4.56*deb`?
If you are on Debian 10 (buster), I will upload a bugfix to stable-proposed-updates today or tomorrow and see how long it takes to clear the queue, but from the line number (1059) it looks like you are running Debian testing.
Sorry about that!
G'luck, Peter
