    The missing signal in the command used to instruct a daemon to reinitialize itself, including reading configuration files, is 'HUP'. The 'HUP' signal, also known as 'SIGHUP' or signal 1, is commonly used for this purpose. The command should be written as: killall -s HUP daemon. This will send the 'HUP' signal to all processes named 'daemon', prompting them to reload configuration files and reinitialize their state.

To send the 'HUP' signal to a daemon using the 'killall' command, you can use the following command: killall -s HUP daemon This command will send the 'HUP' signal to all processes with the name 'daemon', causing them to reinitialize themselves, including reading configuration files.

It is important to consult the documentation for the specific daemon to understand how it handles the 'HUP' signal.
