: Please, for future reference, what is the syntax to issue this command?

IIRC,

# kill -HUP 10292
(where 10292 is the PID of crond)

On RH systems, most processes are also controllable (potentially more
reliably) through the initscripts.  Again, IIRC:

# /etc/rc.d/iniscripts.d/cron reload

... except I don't think cron actually ever needs reloading so I doubt this
parameter is supported by crond.
