Hey I appreciate your help guys. Yes, lighttpd does have init scripts,
which if you compile the software manually, you have to install those
scripts in a separate step. I took a look at this file, and there are
commands for stop, start, and restart, etc. I was really just wondering
if these scripts did much more than just killing and then restarting the
process back up, just as I could do manually using "kill". Since, as
Randolph points out, some apps also require other processes to be killed
as well, I can see the usefulness of the init scripts. Thanks again.

If you don't install the init scripts you may have to manually start
the server every time you boot. In some cases the init script may
also save data during shutdown.
