See, unlike web server that can "re-read" its configuration
on -HUP signal, you should actually reload executable after
recompilation - replace it.

You can do this easily with a simple script:

   while ./myapp -c myconfig ; do sleep 0.5 ; done

And when you kill it by

   killall -TERM myapp

It would restart automatically.

while ./myapp is needed to prevent infinite restart
in case myapp exists with error code.

------------------


If you change only views (templates) and you compile
them as independent shared object you can reload
them by setting an option: views.auto_reload in
cppcms configuration to true.

See: <http://cppcms.com/wikipp/en/page/cppcms_1x_config#views.auto_reload>


This would make cppcms to reload shared object views automatically
in case they had changed.

This is useful for HTML/templates editing.
