Yeah, something like that. I also wonder if you don't need to think
a bit harder about the ordering of the flag checks, in particular
it seems like servicing reload_request before child_exit might be
a good idea (remembering that child_exit might cause launching of
new children, so we want to be up to speed on relevant settings).
