Minecraft: Is setting the spawn-monsters setting to false equivalent to peaceful?

Question

In server.properties there is a spawn-monsters setting that you can set to false. It stops them from spawning, but does it remove existing monsters like setting the difficulty to peaceful? In other words, can I allow monsters for a little while and then safely turn them back off, or will creepers that spawned while it was on linger, awaiting unsuspecting victims?

Answer

In order for the changed setting to take effect, the server must be restarted. until restarted, monsters will still spawn. After a restart, there should be no monsters.
