True, there is more than one way to do it :)
Also if the daemon (named, apache) drop their PID number into a
flat ASCII file you could do this.
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/http.pid`
Look in /var/run or /var/adm/run to see which daemon drops their
PID down, alot of them do.
In the /usr/local/httpd/bin direct I put that command in a script
called killit, so when I am knee deep in tweaking apache I can
execute the command and then drop over into netscape or logs to
test it out.
Also in SuSe Linux if you look into the /etc/rc.d you can run those
scripts without the K50, S34 junk in front of the name, Mmm less
things to type.
You could also use a command like this:
kill -HUP `ps aux | grep [h]ttp | awk '{print $2}'`
but that is properly best left into a shell script.
