If you use Nessus' included "nessus-update-plugins" script, you do not
have to do anything after the update. The script automatically HUPs the
parent nessusd process. If you are not using the included script, then
yes, you will need to HUP the process (PID should be stored in
/usr/local/var/nessus/nessusd.pid).
