 Most daemons provide a way to reload the configuration without disrupting
 service. For example, you can update Apache's configuration then do
 `service apache2 reload`, which will make it start using the new
 configuration without killing existing downloads.

 Ooni might want to support something like this, especially if a cron job
 is going to be making the bouncer reload its configuration frequently,
 like it will in the M-Lab deployment.
