+Forces the kiwi server to re-load its configuration file by sending the process \fBSIGUSR1\fR.

+.BR build\fR
+Builds the necessary client files. This will process translation files, build the HTML file and bundle and minify the client-side JavaScript code.
+.TP
+.BR \-c\fR\ \fIconfig_file\fR
+Use the specified \fIconfig_file\fR instead of searching the pre-defined locations. By default the kiwi server will look in \fI/etc/kiwiirc\fR and the installation directory for a configuration file named \fIconfig.js\fR.
+.TP
+.BR \-p\fR\ \fIpid_file\fR
+Write the kiwi server's PID to this file. By default, kiwi will write the PID to a file called \fIkiwiirc.pid\fR in the installation directory unless it is started with the \fB\-f\fR flag.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.IR /etc/kiwiirc/config.js
+If this file exists, and the \fB\-c\fR option has not been specified, kiwi will use this file as its configuration file. If it does not exist, kiwi will try to locate \fIconfig.js\fR in its installation directory.
