Hi,

I'm using Logstash 6.4 on a Linux server.  
Before 6.4 I had the 2.x version and whenever I changed a config I would use the command "sudo service logstash reload" but it doesn't seem to work (exist?) anymore.  
Here is the output I get when I try the command with 6.4:

I tried with systemctl too, but i get the same message:

Output of "systemctl status logstash.service":

I know I could use auto reload but it doesn't seem to work properly for me and I prefer the service reload method.  
Can anyone help me out ?  
Thanks
