Nginx not reloading after SIGHUP in freebsd

[Luciano Mannucci]

Hello all!

If I issue a "kill -s HUP" from root to the pid I find on my freeBSD
machine it does'nt reload the configuration.
If I issue a "service nginx reload" it does.
Is it normal?

Here is the output of my "pkg info nginx" which shoud carry all the
relevant informations:
