I used to use "kill -HUP <pid>" then one day did a "kill -l" and
saw that -HUP was associated to the number "1" so now I just do
"kill -1 <pid>" or if you just trying to have some fun....

kill -1 `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` which will do the same thing.
(those are backticks on the cat command)

Don't always expect to see the deamon's PID there for there are
alwasys tarball compile options to put the "*.pid" elsewhere.
