Reload config without reboot the server

Is possible to implement some way to reload the server config, without reboot the server and drop all current connections?

Something like… [PHP]apachectl -k graceful[/PHP]

Thanks

Luiz

We do not have a way to do this. You can suspend the server such that it will unbind from all of its ports and stop accepting new connections and the current connections will remain running. You can do it through JConsole/JMX. It is the suspendServer operation on the WowzaMediaServerPro/Server object under the MBeans tab. This allows you to start a second instance of the server with a new configuration. You can kill the first instance once all the connections drop off.

I hope this helps.
