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 at 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 at az01-dhcp-02:/# kill -SIGHUP 14798
root at az01-dhcp-02:/# ps -ef | grep kea
root 14999 14631 0 16:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kea
root at az01-dhcp-02:/# ps -ef | grep kea
root 15001 14631 0 16:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kea
root at az01-dhcp-02:/# ps -ef | grep kea
root 15003 14631 0 16:47 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto kea
root at 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.

Sending SIGHUP instructs the running server to reload the configuration
file. Using "service" to restart would actually tell the OS to stop the
current instance of the server and then restart it.
