I know what HUP is :) But thank you for expounding on the history.

I was just wondering if there was a way to reload specific virtual
server configuration files via the radmin tool, instead of reloading
*every* virtual server with a -HUP. I should have been clearer.

When some people say 'HUP' they're referring to HUP like behaviour,
not actually sending a process the HUP signal.
