There are several ways to do this. Simplest if you are sleeping for periods is simply to re-read the config after every wake-up. Other options incliude using select() I think select will work for files so if anything changes on the watched file select will run its code. > As a side question, is there a more elegant way of making something > a deamon > other than the ole > while True: > do_stuff() > sleep(some_time) select can be used instead of the sleep to only run the code when an interesting event happens - provided your events are detectable by select of course!. The twisted framework should offer some other options too, but I've never used twisted so am no expert.
