Is this daemon part of a Debian package you installed? If so you
probably have two options:
1) /etc/init.d/<service> restart
or
/etc/init.d/<service> stop
/etc/init.d/<service> start
2) man start-stop-daemon
If it's a standard service started by Debian at boot then I'd use
#1. Otherwise read the start-stop-daemon man page and use it.
