He means restart the clamd server application...
HUP is the kill signal that gets sent to a process to tell it to shut
everything down.
HUP
The following command
$ kill -s SIGHUP 1001
sends the HUP or hang-up signal to the program that is running with process ID
1001. You can also use the numeric value of the signal as follows:
$ kill -1 1001
This command also sends the hang-up signal to the program that is running with
process ID 1001. Although the default action for this signal calls for the
process to terminate, many UNIX programs use the HUP signal as an indication
that they should reinitialize themselves. For this reason, you should use a
different signal if you are trying to terminate or kill a process.
