It seems the initctl(8) manpage has not been updated yet to match. Do you consider fixing the manpage to be a sufficient solution for this bug, or do you think that support for arbitrary reload commands is needed? For my part I don't think that there's a need for abstract 'reload's when one can do a 'restart' instead. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
