Hi all,

For years, we’ve been talking about providing a graceful restart for Starman. 

Today, I needed it for a production instance to enable plugins without disrupting anyone’s Koha usage, so I ran: kill -SIGHUP $(cat /var/run/koha/<instance name>/plack.pid)

It worked so well.

I’d be happy to provide a patch, but I imagine there might be some debate about the precise implementation. So if folk could comment on https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21366 that would be great.
