i used shared libraries like this to hot swap code for a network server:

1 install the new lib.
2 send SIGINIT to the process.

when the main thread received SIGINIT it would come out of the listen()
and do a fork().

the parent would wait for all worker threads connections to close. then
it would exit.

the child would re-read the config file and then start a new
listen().


should i explain more, or is this (including any oversights) sufficient?
