Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Please implement port reload (or port restart) command, which will do something similar to: 

port unload && port load

optional: without disabling/enabling OSX launchd autostart.

Description: modified (diff)

At the moment, port load and port unload simply directly call launchctl. To my knowledge, there is no launchctl equivalent for a restart or reload command. Perhaps we should check if there is any literature on the best method to restart a launchd-controlled service.
