limits.conf is applied during login, not reboot afaik. So restarting the services rather than the whole computer ought to work.

You can't reload the kernel without rebooting the machine. In the newest kernel (2.6.13) they added a new feature called kexec which will reload a kernel without physically rebooting the machine, but it still kills all of the services and downs everything. At best, it is a faster way to reboot.

Reloading kernel is one of few things you can not do in Linux without reboot, but you could compile ee-everything as modules and reload them.
