Hi,

it would be great if I could reload the Config.XML file after editing without stopping and starting the server, because I don't want to loose my listeners. Would this be possible?

On unix system the HUP signal can trigger an xml reload, most things can be changed without trouble, although a few items like port changes cannot. The win32 build needs another approach for triggering the reload.

Yes, we use Win32 Version. Would be great if it works. What we change is to add some mount points and ADD some more listening ports and ADD some aliases.

Thanks

Add a report to trac.xiph.org detailing this so it isn not forgotten about. I think an admin handler could be used triger a re-read, that will work on win32 as well. listening port changes is something that would need to be added, aliases and mount changes are handled already.
