Comment (by karsten):
weasel notes on IRC that services that auto-check if their configuration
files change are extremely suspicious. He says that a service should
require some signal to re-read its configuration file.
Let's think again if we can implement something like that. I briefly
looked whether we can catch a SIGHUP signal, but that doesn't seem very
platform independent. Another way would be to touch a "reload-config"
file of some sort and have the current thread check whether that exists.
But there are probably better ways. Hmmmmm.
