crond restart

best way of restarting the cron daemon from a script so all it does is
reread the crontabs:

a) /etc/rc2.d/S75cron stop and start (dont like this, can not work)
b) find the pid manually and kill it; restart cron
c) send a kill -HUP a la inetd (dont think this works. plus, time
stamp of the process is not updated which would have been helpful)
d) something else

interested in people opinions here.
