Reload

Restart the server the given js files have changed. files may be several directories, filenames, etc, defaulting to the script’s directory.

Options

• signal Signal to send, defaults to SIGTERM
• interval Watcher interval, defaulting to 100

Usage

The reload(paths[, signal]) plugin accepts a single path, or an array of paths, watching for mtime changes, and re-loading the workers when a change has been made. By default the SIGTERM signal is sent, killing the workers immediately, however we may pass a signal for graceful termination as well.

Reload when files in ./ (__dirname) change:

    cluster(server)
      .use(cluster.reload())
      .listen(3000);

Reload when files in ./lib change:

    cluster(server)
      .use(cluster.reload('lib'))
      .listen(3000);

Reload when files in ./lib, ./tests, or the ./index.js file change:

    cluster(server)
      .use(cluster.reload(['lib', 'tests', 'index.js']))
      .listen(3000);

Graceful shutdown:

   cluster(server)
    .use(cluster.reload('lib', { signal: 'SIGQUIT' }))
    .listen(3000);

Watching coffee-script files as well.

   cluster(server)
     .use(cluster.reload('lib', { extensions: ['.js', '.coffee'] }))
     .listen(3000);
