Feature Request - For nmos-cpp-node and nmos-cpp-registry - Re-read configuration on SIGHUP?
Would it be possible for nmos-cpp-node and nmos-cpp-registry to re-read their configuration files on the process receiving a HUP signal? On configuration re-read JSON parameter changes could take effect without stopping and re-starting the process.
Ideally this would be in a similar way to how some daemons, including Apache and Sendmail, re-read configuration files upon receiving SIGHUP, specifically so the kill command may be used for this.
Sensible feature request. We haven't done this, because changing some settings (e.g. port mapping, security config), basically requires a tear down of the whole app right now. If re-reading and just applying the settings which can be modified via the REST API is good enough, that can be done externally.
