That's a good idea, though I'd need to be careful not to confict with the use of these signals for other purposes, such as controlling LinuxThreads. I think the best approach would be to make the choice of 'reload' signal configurable, so that people could choose a signal that doesn't conflict with other usage in their environment.

as far as i know the SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 kill signals are explicitly for custom use of an application and no-one should expect anything specific happening when using this signals. so its up to the application to define the usage.
