Details

Summary

The fact that rc(8) only reads its configuration once is in the man
page, but how to trigger a reload is only in the code.

Discovered while trying to make cloud-init disable and stop syslogd.

Thanks to RhodiumToad for providing the words.

I don't know the technology for this change, but the wording is good now.

One further change suggested, not required. Thanks
