            Bug ID: 293205
           Summary: sysutils/smartmontools: "service smartd reload" does
                    nothing when smartd was started by init
           Product: Ports & Packages

When smartd was started by init (i.e. after a reboot), the "service smartd
reload" command does nothing on FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p8.

This is because smartd is ignoring SIGHUP:

$ procstat -i `cat /var/run/smartd.pid` | grep HUP
 1918 smartd           HUP      -I-

It starts working after "service smartd restart":

$ procstat -i `cat /var/run/smartd.pid` | grep HUP
14288 smartd           HUP      --C
