An appropriate signal, probably SIGTERM, should also do this.

Agreed. SIGHUP.

Then there's the upgrade restart, which should be available via a signal. The
actual restart should be deferred if VDR is currently busy. (It is *possible*
to implement this via runvdr, but it's a lot easier to handle if VDR can
re-exec itself.)
