[Oisf-users] Suricata Rule-Reload not working properly

[jordon.carpenter at rooksecurity.com]

Having issues with running the following command to perform a live rule
reload for suricata;

kill -USR2 `pidof suricata`

It works on some of my other engines(all have same configuration), but some
seem to hang at "<Notice> - rule reload starting” and it doesn’t give the
"<Notice> - rule reload complete” message. Suricata still processes
packets, but it is unable to reload the rules any further until I kill the
process. Anyone know how to fix this issue, I have seen this brought up
before and no solution has been given yet. Im running Suricata version
2.1beta4
