if it's a change that does not incur backwards compatibility (e.g. adding a tileset, changing the cache backend for a tileset, enabling/disabling a server, ...) you can just issue a graceful restart on the webserver. In your case (change of resolution), the path you suggested is the correct one. Note that if you just need to invalidate the cache because the stored tiles are outdated, you can do that while the server itself is running (rm -rf on dir, or delete from tiles in sqlite)
