No - it will kill the sshd that listens on port 22, but not the
process servicing your connection. I've done this before, and you
probably have too - eg, last time you did an apt-get upgrade and it
upgraded ssh for you.

If you're worried, queue up a couple of at jobs - one in 10 minutes to
start openssh, and jus tin case that doesn't work, another 10 minutes
after that to reboot the machine.

if I'm on an ssh connection, how do I restart sshd...?

shouldn't the ssh session I'm on drop me off ?
