Hi,

Im thinking to start working on a webinterface for Hiawatha. Therefor I want to know what happens to alive connections if I restart Hiawatha. Are they cancelled? Or do they stay alive with the old configuration?

Is there some kind of "graceful" restart or a way to just reload the configuration?

Thanks and best regards,
Ben.

When Hiawatha gets restarted, alive connections are closed. Hiawatha used to have a configuration reload feature, but I removed it because it caused too much trouble with they stability. So, there is no reload feature. Only restart.

What about a second process which will use the new configuration and the old one will die as soon as all connections are gone?

You have a counter about current connections or have an idea how to implement it?

Thanks for your fast reply.

Won't work. Because both processes will have to bind to the same IP and port.
