Interactive commands
In normal mode, Pyreload reads commands from standard input.
| Command | Result |
|---|---|
rs then Enter |
Stop the current process and start it again |
stop then Enter |
Stop the process and filesystem observers |
| Ctrl+C | Stop monitoring and the application |
Other input is ignored. Commands are case-sensitive.
Non-interactive sessions
Use --clean when no interactive terminal is available. It disables input
handling and Pyreload logs while continuing to watch for changes.
Use stop or Ctrl+C for shutdown. Do not rely on EOF/Ctrl+D for process cleanup.
See clean mode.
