you must verify that this process responds to a HUP and does the right
thing.  many programs take a variety of signals making them do
different things.  your recipe is much too simple.  eg. most of the
time a daemon will reread its configuration but stay alive and well on
a HUP.  if you then -KILL it, you may make things worse, if it wasn't
designed to handle it.  i mean, instead of KILL the man page might
tell you which signal to send to get it to die gracefully.
