How do I get domains to use new SSL certificate after replacing expired one?

Toxalot

Basic Pleskian
I generated a self-signed SSL certificate on the command line. I replaced the existing certificate located in /usr/local/psa/var/certificates directory, keeping the same filename. I did it from the command line because I wanted to set an expiry date longer than 1 year into the future. I was also hoping that I wouldn't have to go through all my IP addresses and re-save the certificate they use.

After replacing the certificate, I went back to the panel and re-secured the panel with the certificate. The panel now uses the new certificate, but all the domains still use the old certificate.

I've tried:
- making the cert the default for websites, again
- re-saving the IP address settings
- restarting Apache
- clearing my browser cache
- reloading the domain website

But, the website is still using the expired certificate. What do I need to re-save, reload, or restart to get the websites to use the new cert?
 
It seems to have refreshed now. Would something have happened via cron to do this? At first, I thought it was something I did, but now I can't duplicate the results. There must be a way to force this without waiting for some scheduled event - if indeed that is what happened.
