I refresh my FCGI apps via the web server. Ie make request like
http://www.foo.com/fcgi-bin/ap.fpl?restart
where the fpl code is written to respond to such a signal by dying. If
you have more than one, and they don't restart in quick succession then
you could send a few of these. I guess it is not guaranteed to work in
those cases tho'.
I don't killing the FCGI app as that will kill anyone who is accessing
it at that time.
