Comment(by aa138346):

 Hello, sorry for not responding earlier.

 Yes, "from the command line" was what I was looking for.

 The reason I was looking for this functionality was because I wanted other
 non-privileged users/services (who can't restart and/or kill -HUP <pid>)
 to be able to restart/reload specific tor processes.

 I looked into the tor-ctrl.sh script, and it appears to provide the
 functionality.
