"kill SIGHUP <pid>" is the wrong syntax. You want "kill -HUP <pid>". Or
you can just wait a few minutes, current versions of Samba are supposed
to check the config file for changes.

All UNIX signal names are "SIG<name>", to send them to a process by
signal name you use "kill -<name> <pid>", without the "SIG".
