Imagine your DNS server is running as a service. You want it to start before most of the network services have a chance to try using it :) > Also, if I have a program(s) that are routinely restarted via "USR1", > such as clamav, should I activate the "SIGQ12" option?

It adds the -1, -2, and -q options to the svc(8) command-line tool, and yes, that's pretty much exactly what you want - if you're running clamav as a service, you can now do "svc -1 /var/service/clamav" and it'll get a USR1 signal.
