You can check a shared memory variable (like $sht(...) or $shv(...))
that you can change via rpc, so you can re-fetch the database records
even if you don't change the lua script.

Having an indication on script reload inside the script itself could be
useful, but requires some c coding at this moment, not being implemented.
