Linux Services Reload VS Restart

Linux Services Reload VS Restart

Restarting a Linux a service stops and then restarts the service, it breaks all existing connections to the service by stopping the service, and then restarts the service. Reloading a service on the other hand does not break existing services, it simply reloads the service configuration. and new connections will run based off of the reloaded configuration. Hope you enjoyed!
