Daemon control
| Command | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
yerd restart daemon | Restart the daemon itself. | yerd restart daemon |
sh
yerd restart daemonWARNING
yerd restart daemon briefly interrupts all sites, and this command itself, since it's a client of the daemon it's restarting.
There is no yerd start/yerd stop subcommand: the daemon's lifecycle is managed by your OS (and started on demand). See The Daemon for how yerdd is launched and supervised, and the yerdd binary page for internals.
yerd update --yes (see Self-Update) also restarts the daemon, as the final step of installing a new Yerd version - that restart goes through the same OS service mechanics as restart daemon, not a fresh yerdd process started from scratch.
