Not easily, unfortunately. It can only be done with manual intervention. The only way to do this would be to kill the dominion server (dom2), then restart it with new options. This is not a problem (not even from a script), but handling anyone currently logged in is.
If I had designed the game, the hosting application (the turn generation part) would be distinct from the server (which handles uploads and such) and from the client (which would interface to the other; and start them locally if neccessary). But this is merely wishing... :-(
