You can disagree if you want to, but that's what the LSB standard says [1]
reload cause the configuration of the service to be reloaded without
actually stopping and restarting the service
Actually, IMHO, since ntop has no way to reload its configuration files the
option should be dropped all together from the init.d file.
We do want to be LSB compliant, don't we?
