generally SIGHUP is used to restart a daemon, or stop some. It's pretty
widely accepted that you do whichever is appropriate for your application.
in the very least, apache's httpd reloads config files and re-starts the
server if you hit it with a SIGHUP.
It'd just be two extra calls to make it respond to all 3 signals above. :]
