Thanks for the patch!  I have a couple of comments.

In the documentation, please put \ before - consistently in the .IP.

When it's possible, I like settings to take effect immediately, so that
users don't have to restart things.  I think that this should be
possible here, by calling jsonrpc_session_set_probe_interval() in the
right place.  Did you look at what it would take?

Thanks,

Ben.
