Yes, or do
# kill -HUP 1
As in section 2.7 of Life With Qmail.

supervise switches to the directory named service and starts ./run. It
restarts ./run if ./run exits. It pauses for a second before starting
./run, so that it does not loop too quickly if ./run exits immediately.
supervise is used to manage a service; svscan is used to manage the
'supervise'rs.

I just searched Life With Qmail looking for that instruction; it doesn't say
that.
