To reply to my own post (and answer several replies)-

	Yes, obviously System("asterisk -rx reload") and other variations would 
work.  But does using the System command to launch another Asterisk 
process to connect to the already running Asterisk instance over a UNIX 
socket to issue a reload bother anyone else?  It sure bothers me... 
Wouldn't having a dialplan app to call ast_module_reload be sooo much 
simpler?

	Sorry, I should have mentioned my objections to using System() in the 
first place.
