Consul service should restart instead of reload

[miroswan]

If I make a change to a config, it doesn't show in the API or UI until I actually restart the service. Reload doesn't seem to suffice.

Hi @miroswan,

Can you tell us what configuration change you are making that doesn't seem to reload?
I assume you are reloading the service and not using the CLI consul reload
According to the docs These are the only re-loadable items

Reloadable Configuration

Reloading configuration does not reload all configuration items. The items which are reloaded include:

-Log level
-Checks
-Services
-Watches
-HTTP Client Address
-Atlas Token
-Atlas Infrastructure
-Atlas Endpoint

@miroswan Automatic consul daemon restart could be really harmful. Please refer to the discussion #288
