I agree, reload and restart should both be provided.  Here's the
standard Apache init script, which is a good template for service
control:

/etc/init.d/httpd
Usage: httpd 
{start|stop|restart|condrestart|try-restart|force-reload|reload|status|fullstatus|graceful|help|configtest}

Out of those, I think condrestart and try-restart are good promise
options to restart, and force-reload could be a promise option to
reload.  The rest don't make much sense in services, I think.
