systemctl reload

Reload a service's configuration without restarting it. This reloads the service itself (like Apache or nginx configs), not the systemd unit file. To reload unit files, use systemctl daemon-reload.

• Reload a service:

systemctl reload {{nginx}}

• Reload multiple services:

systemctl reload {{unit1 unit2 ...}}

• Reload a service for the current user:

systemctl reload {{pipewire}} --user
