 Handling System Updates

 Swift Orphans are processes left over after a reload of a Swift server.
 
-For example, when upgrading a proxy server you would probaby finish with a `swift-init proxy-server reload` or `/etc/init.d/swift-proxy reload`. This kills the parent proxy server process and leaves the child processes running to finish processing whatever requests they might be handling at the time. It then starts up a new parent proxy server process and its children to handle new incoming requests. This allows zero-downtime upgrades with no impact to existing requests.
