If you want to restart ssh, you can do as following commands
Note that you must login as root user

CentOS / RHEL / Fedora / Redhat Linux Restart SSH

Code:
# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
OR

Code:
# service sshd restart
Debian / Ubuntu Linux Restart SSH

Code:
# /etc/init.d/ssh restart
OR

Code:
# service ssh restart
FreeBSD Restart SSH

Code:
# /etc/rc.d/sshd restart
UNIX Restart SSH

Code:
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
The location of /var/run/sshd.pid may be different on OS. So just search a bit through /var/run/ directory.

Hope it helps!
