No. You have to restart the process, thus the relay. (Can you update any other program without restarting it entirely?

Wasn't exactly a feature but under SunOS/Solaris when you ran a program from an NFS mount, and recompiled it, the compiler would write into the existing file, and that would change the actual code mapping the program ran on (in its process).

Needless to say, in most cases of nontrivial changes this just lead to the program crashing.
