Hi Eric, I've already tested it. It works great :)


To check it I use the following init script "reload" action which hope could 
be useful for others (it requires loading "/lib/lsb/init-functions"):


reload|force-reload|safe-reload)
  # Return
  #   0 if daemon has been reloaded
  #   1 if daemon was not running
  #   1 if daemon could not be reloaded
  #
  log_daemon_msg "Safe reloading $DESC"

  oldpid=$(pidofproc -p $PIDFILE)
  if [ "$oldpid" ] ; then
    kill -s USR2 $oldpid
    log_action_msg "signal USR2 sent to $NAME master process (pid $oldpid) to
                    fork a new master and workers processes"

    log_action_msg "waiting for the new process to successfully start..."
    printf "."
    sleep 1
    while [ "$(pidofproc -p $PIDFILE.oldbin)" ]; do
      printf "."
      sleep 1
    done
    echo

    newpid=$(pidofproc -p $PIDFILE)
    # If the PID has definitively changed than the new master is running.
    if [ "$oldpid" != "$newpid" ] ; then
      log_success_msg "server correctly reloaded, new master process has pid
                       $newpid"
      log_end_msg 0
    # If not, the new master process couldn't start due to the new
    # configuration or code error.
    else
      log_failure_msg "error running a new master process, $NAME was not
                       reloaded (check error log)"
      log_end_msg 1
    fi
  else
    log_failure_msg "$NAME is not running"
    log_end_msg 1
  fi
  ;;



And I test the following loop to check it:

  while [ 0 ] ; do /etc/init.d/myserver reload ; done

* [PATCH] initialize signal handlers before writing pid file

This prevents trigger-happy init scripts from reading the pid
file (and thus sending signals) to a not-fully initialized
master process to handle them.

This does NOT fix anything if other processes are sending
signals prematurely without relying on the presence of the pid
file.  It's not possible to prevent all cases of this in one
process, even in a purely C application, so we won't bother
trying.

We continue to always defer signal handling to the main loop
anyways, and signals sent to the master process will be
deferred/ignored until Unicorn::HttpServer#join is run.

  I just pushed this out to git://git.bogomips.org/unicorn.git

  There were some test cases (that shouldn't be called "unit tests")
  that needed to be fixed but I don't think anything else is broken,
  but be sure to let us know either way.
