In general, ALWAYS try kill without the -9 on ANY program. Give the
program a chance to gracefully catch a shutdown signal and clean up. If
you do a kill -9, programs can wind up leaving data files mangled.
I've most often used Radiator set up to run from inittab. In that
config, to restart it, you just do a kill on the radiusd, and it
reappears automatically thanks to inittab.
