I'm working on a brainstorm idea for a system that will take several different services on a given FreeBSD box (let's use Sendmail and JIT for example) that normally require killing the process and restarting it for new configurations, even the smallest ones, to take effect. I'm looking to find a way to make these programs automatically take the new configurations ASAP or immediately if that can be done. I know using InetD you can take samba or Qpopper (pop3 mail daemon) and get them to automatically accept any and all changes done to their configs automatically without a restart of the service. Now, stating that, can I somehow figure out how to do this with say for example Sendmail or JIT which normally run as their own processes and don't require InetD? I'm looking at needing to be able to have any programs like these two to still be live and listening on a given port for commands, but at the same time if I make configuration changes, I need them to take effect immediately without requiring a restart of the service.
