yes.  this method assumes that the administrator of apache has made
a change to a file and now wants to reload it.  this is how some unix
services work such as named and inetd.  you modify the config
files and send a kill -HUP to the daemon.  in this case you would do:
kill -USR2 `cat /path/to/apache/logs/httpd.pid`
