INIT(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual INIT(8)
NAME
init - process control initialization
SYNOPSIS
init
...
Line status (on, off, secure, getty, or window information) may be
changed in the ttys file without a reboot by sending the signal SIGHUP to
init with the command ``kill -HUP 1''. On receipt of this signal, init
^^^^^^^^^^^
re-reads the ttys file. [...]
There are other important hints in that man page, so better read the
appropriate portion.
