+The 'base' path is daemon/session base.
+The 'lock' file is daemon's lock file guarding that no other
+daemon is running on top of the base.
+The 'output' file is perf record output for specific session.
+The 'control' and 'ack' files are perf control files.
+The 'up' number shows minutes daemon/session is running.
+
+
+Make sure control session is online:
+
+  # perf daemon ping
+  OK   cycles
+  OK   sched
+
+
+Send USR2 signal to session 'cycles' to generate perf.data file:
+
+  # perf daemon signal --session cycles
+  signal 12 sent to session 'cycles [603452]'

+  # tail -2  /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output
+  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
+  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020123017013149 ]

+
+Send USR2 signal to all sessions:
+
+  # perf daemon signal
+  signal 12 sent to session 'cycles [603452]'
+  signal 12 sent to session 'sched [603453]'
+
+  # tail -2  /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output
