A recent commit [1] combined with my company's configuration management work made me think of a neat facility systemd might add: auto-reload on changes to files matching a glob in the unit/service file.
Specifically, it would be great to see configuration like the following: AutoReloadOnUpdate=/etc/tomcat6/server.xml AutoReloadDelay=5 Any files/globs specified in AutoReloadOnUpdate would cause systemd to register inotify listeners for events on those files that result in reloading the corresponding service. I could also imagine a systemctl command to suspend/resume auto-reloads for all or specific units. (And, if the service is not auto-reloading, be able to list services that haven't reloaded configuration: systemctl --needs-reload) I'd normally post this sort of idea to the bug tracker, but I wanted to get feedback here to see if anyone has any improvements or a recommended alternative approach to auto-updating services on configuration changes.
