I'm trying to write a script that adds IP addresses to the MercuryS Access Control List by appending them to the file mercurys.acl. However, Mercury seems to keep a copy of that file in memory and flushes it out when it exits, overwriting my updates. I could shut down Mercury, update mercuryS.acl and restart Mercury but I'd rather not. Is there any way for an external program to notify a running Mercury that the mercurys.acl file has been changed?
Alternatively, since Mercury exits and restarts nightly (using loader.exe), is there any way to have loader.exe run a script before it restarts Mercury? That would allow me to update the ACL when mercury is being bounced.
