Hot config reloading #3

Open alxmrs opened 3 years ago

Ideally, the bot should monitor the config file for changes. When a change occurs to the file, it should update the app state. This will allow users to change the bot behavior without restarting the running app.

Thanks for pointing this out. It will need further discussion, but the classic way is to send a HUP signal for configuration reloads. If you see benefit in auto-reloading on change versus sending a signal, what I'm thinking:

  1. Create a configuration option to enable this (default is disabled)
  2. Always have the default HUP signal style enabled.
