If you're on a RedHat system, or one with a similar SysV init, 

  /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start

You can also do it in one step by doing a restart instead of stop and
start, but I find that with some subsystems, this doesn't always seem to
be effective.  I'm not sure why but I suspect that it doesn't wait long
enough for existing processes to finish dying.
