Commandline options? A file might be the easiest solution; maybe a default config-file which will be overrided by explicitly specified files on the command line. Support for this however is needed IMO to complete the first official release. > 3.

We could catch the SIG_TERM however and make sure the daemons exit normally when caught. A config reload could be done by some other signal; the main process then should kill all it's children, reread config and restart. I thin using a 'nice' kill and restarting would be just as easy while demanding less work. Not sure what you mean by 'cpu bound' however.. > 4.
