That depends on your OS and the init daemon.
Example for sshd: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-restart-ssh/
On Debian derivatives with systemd:
Reload will tell the service to reload its configuration files, but keep the
same process running. Restart tells it to shut down entirely, then restart.
Generally speaking, restart will terminate the service in question and restart
it; reload will only reload the configuration file. After an upgrade you must
use restart.
Use 'su -' or sudo
~$ sudo systemctl restart tor
~$ sudo systemctl reload tor
The above applies to all instances. For individual instances use:
~$ sudo systemctl reload tor@00
~$ sudo systemctl reload tor@01
...
On init.d systems (Unix/Linux/*BSD) use:
('su -', doas or sudo)
~$ service restart tor

After a reload, the flags are retained. After a restart they are gone straight
away. How quickly they come back depends on the length and frequency of the
downtime.
