When to HUP and when to restart?

[Jonathan Call]

If you’re using the embedded Perl interpreter a restart is probably better since the interpreter leaks memory.

If you have a very large solution (thousands of service checks) a restart will take a considerable amount of time so a HUP would probably be wise in that situation.
