i'm not sure which system you're using. If you have the service (not server) 
command, then, yes, it'd be:

   service stop brltty
   service start brltty

If your system uses systemd, then it'd be:

   systemctl stop brltty
   systemctl start brltty

If neither of those works, then you may need to use the good old brute force 
method. To stop brltty, you'd use:

   pkill -x brltty

To restart it, just invoke the brltty command plus any options it needs. To 
figure out which options you should specify, you need to first (before you kill 
it) have a look at which options it's currently running with. To do this, use a 
command like:

   ps -efw | grep brltty
