You have: Type=notify ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID and we have: Type=notify-reload ExecReload= This latter setting allows systemd to send SIGHUP to knot, and does *not* require an ExecReload command to be specified. In theory, both of these should work in the same way when we run "systemctl reload knot". With the former configuration, systemd will just send the SIGHUP, but will not wait for any messages from knot. The latter configuration will make systemd send SIGHUP, and then wait for the RELOADING=1 message, and then the READY=1 message. I haven't looked at the systemd.c file to check whether the correct messages are being sent. Is it possible that the READY=1 message isn't being sent?
