 Sending a HUP signal manually seems a bit silly to me now that we have
 the nice way of doing it with the rc.d script.  Being able to simply
 write /etc/rc.d/foo restart/reload is one of the things I really miss
 when using 4.X systems.
 
 Also since, for not quite as experienced people, remembering the
 difference in how to reload/restart different daemons can be hard.  At
 least I remember in my early UNIX days that I had to check the head of
 /etc/inetd.conf about how to reload it each time.
 
 Just my 0.02c.

 How about saying something like:
 
 	See the rc.d chapter for more information on controling services.
 
 Or something like that?  Then we don't have to duplicate the
 explanation about _enable=3D"YES".
