SIGHUP on openvassd and openvasmd

[NopSec]

I read in the new OpenVAS 7 that if I send a SIGHUP signal to openvas
scanner (openvassd), after having synced the plugins, it will reload the
plugins. Also if I send a SIGHUP signal to a running openvas manager, it
will perform an openvasmd --rebuild.

Do you know what is the effect of these operations on an openvas system
that is running a scan? Does the scan stop? Can the scan resume?

Thanks.

A running scan is not affected.
