? Restart: Restarts server by sending SIGHUP, or starts if not running
? Fullstatus: Dumps a full status screen; requires lynx and mod_status
? Status: Dumps a short status screen; requires lynx and mod_status
? Graceful: Restarts server by sending SIGUSR1, or starts if not running without shutting down completely
