Re: Auto-reload of configuration files

Hello Eric,
you can use monit to monitor the config folder.

All the time a config file will added or removed the timestamp of the
folder will change. If you find out the folder was changed you can check
the config and if the test was passed you can reload the config.

Monit is used to monitor monit, but this is an easy way to reload the
config after some changes. From my point of view.

With regards,
