Unfortunately common practice in initscripts is to have reload as an
alias for restart (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SysVInitScript).
In that case the newly started process will be killed immediately after
the reload process ends and its cgroup is destroyed.
Interesting. The Debian/Ubuntu packaging policies are quite contrary
in that regard.
LSB/SysV init scripts only have the reload option, if the daemon
actually supports it.
There is a force-reload action though, which is mapped to reload, if
the daemon supports reload and to restart, if not.
Given that, I wonder if this should be maintained as a Fedora specific patch?
Debian is getting it right in this regard since LSB defines the behavior
of reload to be [1]
"*reload* cause the configuration of the service to be reloaded without
actually stopping and restarting the service"
In anycase systemd should follow LSB in this regard leaving any
downstream distribution having to patch their own common practices in
initscripts by themselves.
