 simpler to debug Mopidy registers a ``SIGUSR1`` signal handler which logs the
 traceback of all alive threads.
 
-To trigger the signal handler, you need the process ID (PID) of Mopidy. This
-can for example be found by running ``ps``::
+To trigger the signal handler, you can use the ``pkill`` command to
+send the ``SIGUSR1`` signal to any Mopidy processes::
 
-    $ ps aux | grep mopidy

-In this example, Mopidy's PID is 4313. You can then use the ``kill`` command to

-
-    $ kill -SIGUSR1 4313

 If you check the log, you should now find one log record with a full traceback
 for each of the currently alive threads in Mopidy.
