pg_ctl reload makes postmaster read enviroment variables again??

Hi Folks:

    I was searching around in archives and Google but I
didn't find the answer.
    Does pg_clt reload makes postmaster also read enviroment
variables (env) again ?!?!
    I'm creating databases in an alternative directory
so storing it's path in a enviroment variable that
postmaster must read.....

PS: I hope not cross-posting :-))


Thanks a lot in advance.
