[plug] SIGHUP woody nfs

[Harry McNally]

Cheers Matt

My fundamental misunderstanding of "fun things to do with initd scripts". I 
guess explicit SIGHUP is a bit redundant in the Debian way.

A quick look in /etc/init.d reveals scripts nfs-common and 
nfs-kernel-server (I didn't install nfs-client-server today) and 
nfs-kernel-server has a reload section which essentially does:

exportfs -r

man exportfs tells me -r is "Reexport all directories" so it's doin' the trick.

Thanks for the lightning response :)

All the best
Harry
