Hello, actually it is possible to execute rpc commands (e.g., htable.reload) from kamailio.cfg, starting with version 4.2 -- you have to use jsonrpc-s module and jsonrpc_exec() function:
http://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/stable/modules/jsonrpc-s.html#jsonrpc-s.f.jsonrpc_exec Practically, you have to build the corresponding json document for the command and give it as parameter.
