"The SIGHUP signal is sent to a process when its controlling terminal is closed"

If you run socketmaster -command my_command & and then close the shell, socket master will start a new child process

Maybe use USR2 instead?

nope. HUP is also used by unicorn. I started a Go process started via an ssh session, put it into the bg and then closed the ssh session, no HUP signal was received.

OK thanks for confirming this. I had seen HUP being used for soft reloads
in the past so it seemed appropriate.
