Haproxy doesn't reload its config. -sf is there so that the new haproxy you're spawning tells the old one to stop accepting new connections and exit once the current one are closed. You do not send a signal to the running haproxy process (well, you do, but not only), you *replace* it. What you may be looking for, though, is haproxy-systemd-wrapper, which does all this automatically when it receives SIGUSR2 or SIGHUP. Regards, Marc-Antoine
