Ah ok. Thanks. I’ve just tried this and it kills the kea daemon completely. Ubuntu 16.04, kea 1.0.0 for the apt repo.
Using “service kea-dhcp4-server start” to start the daemon. root@az01-dhcp-02:/# ps -ef | grep kea root 14798 1 0 16:39 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/kea-dhcp4 -c /etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf root 14994 14631 0 16:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kea root@az01-dhcp-02:/# kill -SIGHUP 14798 root@az01-dhcp-02:/# ps -ef | grep kea root 14999 14631 0 16:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kea root@az01-dhcp-02:/# ps -ef | grep kea root 15001 14631 0 16:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kea root@az01-dhcp-02:/# ps -ef | grep kea root 15003 14631 0 16:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kea root@az01-dhcp-02:/# ps -ef | grep kea root 15005 14631 0 16:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kea Hmmm. There is no keactrl with the package either, may have to hunt that down in manually install it. Neil Briscoe | e.

Using "service" to restart would actually tell the OS to stop the current instance of the server and then restart it.
