According to policy, the "reload" option must never _restart_ the service.
(This isn't stated explicitely in the documents, but it was meant that
way. Perhaps someone should clarify the text in the policy manual?)
If xntp3 doesn't support reloading, the "reload" option should fail (or
not be implemented at all, which would make the script display the usage
text).
Thanks,
Chris
