"Safe Reload" of the backend configuration
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.
