I couldn't think of an easy solution to this in pure Lua.  For C code I would 
use signals,  Many daemons use SIGHUP/SIGUSR1 to signal log file rotation or a 
change in the configuration file.

Did you create your own signal handler or did you use an existing module?  I 
tried lua_signal from luarocks, but it didn't work correctly (I forget what 
the problem was) when I tried it last.  Also the website for it is gone, so I 
don't know if it is going to be maintained.
