They're equivalent. From the web interface 'Restart the Nagios Process'
link --

"This command is used to restart the Nagios process. Executing a restart
command is equivalent to sending the process a HUP signal. All
information will be flushed from memory, the configuration files will be
re-read, and Nagios will start monitoring with the new configuration
information."

>From the init script --

reload|force-reload)
	...
printf "Reloading nagios configuration..."
killproc nagios -HUP
