reload

Reloads the service.

stopstart

Stops and then starts the service. This is different from restart in that Upstart will pick up changes to the /etc/init/SERVICENAME.conf file, while restart will continue to use the version of that file that the service was originally started with. See http://askubuntu.com/a/238069.
