Well, it's been a long story now. Every time someone comes

/sbin/init existed on BSD almost forever. You could fake a tty to use it
for restarting the programs. But the real issue is what restart
functionality the OP really wants. There's more than one way to do it
and whether the SysV init approach is appropiate depends. E.g. what
happens if some part of the configuration is rejected and the daemon
just spins?
