+There are two methods of running admin socket commands: (1)
+using ``ceph daemon`` as described above, which bypasses
+the monitor and assumes a direct login to the daemon's host,
+and (2) using the ``ceph tell {daemon-type}.{id}`` command,
+which is relayed by monitors and does not require access
+to the daemon's host.
+
+Use the ``raise`` command to send a signal to a daemon, as if by running ``kill -X {daemon.pid}``.
+When run via ``ceph tell`` it allows signalling a daemon without access to its host:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ ceph daemon {daemon-name} raise HUP
+ ceph tell {daemon-type}.{id} raise -9
+
To view the available admin-socket commands, run the following command:
.. prompt:: bash $
Admin-socket commands enable you to view and set your configuration at runtime.
For more on viewing your configuration, see `Viewing a Configuration at
-Runtime`_. There are two methods of setting configuration value at runtime: (1)
-using the admin socket, which bypasses the monitor and requires a direct login
-to the host in question, and (2) using the ``ceph tell {daemon-type}.{id}
-config set`` command, which relies on the monitor and does not require a direct
-login.
