You can reload tor's configuration by sending the HUP signal. killall -HUP tor In the message log it will say received HUP signal, reloading configuration and resetting state. I've tried setting specific exit nodes and it's caused some weird problems for me. I remember when if I had it set to use a specific exit and it couldn't connect it would just retry through different paths infinitely. I don't know a lot about tor but it seems like that could compromise your anonymity if that happens. This was a few years ago when I was trying it out so I'm not sure if that still can happen or maybe I did something wrong but beware.
