Miredo is run as a server from the command line:

The man page says the signal SIGTERM stops the server.
How do I send SIGTERM to the server? Or SIGHUP, as I want to make a change to the config file.
kill -TERM <PID> # or -HUP
You can also use the numeric equivalents. I forget them all but a man kill should lead you down the primrose path to total confusion! :-)
And once I get this as I want it, how do I run it at system boot?
I would suggest a look at /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local might do. However, it runs late and so you may need to generate an init script, stick it in /etc/rc/init.d and provide an appropriately named symlink.
If you choose this method, read up on chkconfig et al.
