yes, but there's a trick -- some services support both the "restart"
and "reload" actions, as in:

  # service fubard restart
  # service fubard reload

the first would do an actual service restart, while the second would
simply tell the service to reconsult its config file -- useful if this
is a service you really don't want to stop, even for a second.

but i know you knew that already.  :-)
