Qmail SIGALRM

Hi I have been looking into sending qmail-send an ALARM signal

the following is what I have tried

#>kill -SIGALRM -- qmail-send
which gives me bash: kill: qmail-send: no such pid

so I tried
#>kill -SIGALRM -- 811 ( the pid of qmail send)

which does not seem to do anything

Is this the correct command and how do I confirm that it has worked.

For those that dont know it is supposed to tell qmail to start delivering all messages again as if they just arrived. - Very useful if you have been offline for a while as qmail retries to send messages at increasinfg intervals.
