samba - Dec 1999 - rereading the smb.conf file?

Greetings,

Is the correct way to have the smbd and nmbd to reload a changed smb.conf
somthing like the below script?

#!/bin/sh 
smbspool=/var/spool/samba 
pidfiledir=/var/run 
smbd=/usr/local/sbin/smbd 
nmbd=/usr/local/sbin/nmbd 
 
kill -s SIGHUP `cat $pidfiledir/smbd.pid` 
kill -s SIGHUP `cat $pidfiledir/nmbd.pid` 
 

Would this cause any side effects?

Thanks and thoughts welcome!
