this is not a SIGHUP... the following is one correct way... it is chosen for 
ease and not needing to find the process' PID...

   pkill -SIGHUP dnsmasq


here is another way... slightly more complicated because it does look up the PID...

   kill -SIGHUP ${pidof dnsmasq}


you may need to use sudo if you're doing these manually from the command line... 
you can use the signal name or number... the following will show you the list of 
signals, their numbers and a brief description...

   man 7 signal
