Paul Gottschling 91c89b6126 Organize docs guide sections chronologically (#15357)
* Organize docs guide sections chronologically

This change aims to make docs navigation easier by organizing some docs
sections according to the sequence of steps a user would take to set up
Teleport.

The current docs organization uses a variety of categories and schemes
to organize the docs. For example, there is a "Home" section that
includes the Changelog, Installation page, and Getting Started guides; a
"Setup" section that includes references and admin guides; and
edition-specific sections (Enterprise, Cloud). For a user who is setting
up Teleport--or who has already done some setup work and wants more
advanced instructions--it's difficult to know where in the docs to find
the right information.

This change organizes our how-to guides into the following categories
that describe the process of setting up Teleport:

- Try out Teleport
- Deploy a Cluster (including choosing an edition)
- Configure Access (including SSO, RBAC, and Access Requests)
- Manage your Cluster (admin guides, operations, etc.)
- Use Teleport (this section already exists)

I moved the Reference section after this chronology, since users can
access the reference guides anywhere in the setup process.

As part of the change, I have also moved the content from the
"Enterprise" and "Cloud" sections into "Deploy a Cluster", since this
content has to do with how to deploy a specific edition of Teleport.

Note that this change does _not_ attempt to reorganize our
protocol-specific sections. While adding resources is part of the
Teleport setup process, we have a lot of content in our
protocol-specific sections, and moving it all into a single section
related to adding resources to a cluster would (a) exceed the maximum
depth for subsections in the nav bar and (b) cause more confusion than
it alleviates.

* Respond to PR feedback

- Create a "Compliance Frameworks" section of "Configure Access" with
  the FedRAMP and SOC 2 guides
- Rename "Use Teleport" to "Connect your Client"
- Move the database GUI client guide into "Connect your Client"

* Add redirects

* Fix linter issues

title: "Teleport Signals Reference"
description: "Signals you can send to a running teleport process."
---
You can send the following signals to a `teleport` process to trigger different
functionality.
To send a signal, execute the following command on the host where `teleport` is
running, replacing `SIG` with the name of the signal.
```code
$ kill -SIG
```
| Signal | Teleport Daemon Behavior |
| - | - |
| `USR1` | Dumps diagnostics/debugging information into syslog. |
| `QUIT`| Graceful shutdown. The daemon will wait until connections are dropped. |
| `TERM` , `INT` or `KILL` | Immediate non-graceful shutdown. All existing connections will be dropped. |
| `USR2` | Forks a new Teleport daemon to serve new connections. |
| `HUP` | Forks a new Teleport daemon to serve new connections **and** initiates the graceful shutdown of the existing process when there are no more clients connected to it. |
