start-stop-daemon unable to send signal

Description

In the manual page it is mentioned that start-stop-daemon is capable of sending signals to a daemon. In most cases this is used to reload configuration files. I would expect that "start-stop-daemon -s HUP -p /var/run/mydaemon.pid" sends the signal SIGHUP to the process listed in the pidfile. This is not the case, instead start-stop-daemon complains "start-stop-daemon: nothing to start".

% start-stop-daemon --version
% start-stop-daemon (OpenRC) 0.3.0 (Gentoo Linux)
