So you are not talking like
'kill -s CLEAR_SETTINGS_CACHE `cat CLEAR_SETTINGS_CACHE`
because that would be too easy ;) Do the perl bindings have the
ability to send the event handler that signal? Would it be possible to
add signals to the telnet interface? Sorry I'm only a perl guy or I
would try to figure it out.

I'm running rpm's (so my wife doesn't kill me for breaking things) but
looking at the code, I wonder if you could add it into the
housekeeping logic. It looks like that code must get called
periodically, if it is often enough you could create a
CLEAR_SETTING_CACHE tag and then set the last run date to the
appropriate time longEnough = 1 (housekeeper.cpp:48) and then let that
trigger it. It wouldn't be real time on demand but it would be
whatever the period of the housekeeping cycle is.
