I am not aware of such a function. But have a look at the
implementation of the emergency_debug in status_handler.py.
Instead of closing the sockets and recreating them, close
them only. Now only already open connections will be served
and a new server instance can be started. If there are things
like persistent connections, you might want to add a way for
cancellation at the nearest useful point, but that's more
complicated and somewhat application specific.
