[TD-1] taskdctl graceful - spawns a new taskd and SIGUSR1 is ineffective

[taskwarrior]

Renato Alves on 2014-01-23T11:46:18Z says:

taskctl graceful doesn't wait for any action from the running taskd instance and immediately spawns a new taskd instance which will stop with a "Address already in use" error.

This also causes taskctl to get confused as the PID file will point to the newly spawned taskd which is no longer running, while the old one is still.

Finally SIGUSR1 is ineffective because the old server doesn't reload its configuration.

The same problem occurs using taskdctl restart.

SIGHUP causes a config reload, SIGUSR1 does nothing, yet.
