Kill signal question

All,

Was recently looking at the "kill" signal man and info pages after I got a
question about it.

I learned a long time ago that after makes changes to the
/etc/ssh/sshd_config, to reload sshd daemon, I needed to get the
/var/run/sshd.pid value and input that value in to the "kill -HUP
'SSHD_PID'" and it would reload the daemon with killing my existing ssh
session. Works great for when I am logged into remote systems.

Specifically, my question is, is this method the equivalent to "kill -s
SIGHUP 'SSHD_PID'" ??
