+ through <varname>ExecReload=</varname> or via the reload logic enabled via <varname>Type=notify-reload</varname>.
+ If the reload does not complete within the configured time, the reload will be considered failed and
+ the service will continue running with the old configuration. This will not affect the running service,
+ but will be logged and will cause e.g. <command>systemctl reload</command> to fail.</para>
