This is an interesting one. The daemon's settings are sent in the summary 
line, which is sent before the reload takes effect.

Why are the settings sent on each command? Couldn't we have an "info" 
command which returns them, which is sent by "bbackupctl reload" after the 
reload command?

Cheers, Chris.
