reloading a service

Hello All,

Is there any plan to have “state=reloaded” or similar in “service” module? Most of the times whenever I make configuration changes, I prefer to reload the service rather than restarting it. Mostly in case of webserver, I can not afford to restart it, since it affects active connections. Or does Ansible provide any facility using which I can send SIGHUP to any service?

Perfectly logical.

There is no plan, but patches would be accepted.

I sent a git pull in for this
