I am running an old macbook pro as a server and have deluged running on it.

How can I restart the daemon without having to restart my server each time?

On macOS, you will generally create a launchd configuration for a services - see deluge docs https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/deluge-2.0.4/how-to/launchd-service.html

Pasted here:

Create the file /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluged.plist containing the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>org.deluge-torrent.deluged</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/local/bin/deluged</string>
        <string>-d</string>
        <string>-L</string>
        <string>error</string>
        <string>-l</string>
        <string>/var/log/deluged.log</string>
    </array>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/deluged.stdout</string>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/deluged.stderr</string>
    <!-- To enable running as 'deluge' user remove comments.
    <key>UserName</key>
    <string>deluge</string>
    -->
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Set the service to load on startup, and then start it:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluged.plist
sudo launchctl start org.deluge-torrent.deluged

You can then restart the service while running with sudo launchctl stop and start.

Note docs recommend (optionally) creating a new user deluge for which to use this service. You'll have to edit the above depending on whether you create a deluge user or not.
