I work around this by having a seperate folder for new settings. My 
auto-restart script checks this folder for changes, and copies in the 
new files. Given the fact that the server crashes 3 or 4 times a day, 
this means that the new config goes in pretty quickly. Script is below, 
if anyone else wants it (this was based on someone elses restart script 
from ages ago).
