I completed my post-graduation in 2013 in the engineering field. Engineering is the application of science and math to solve problems. Engineers figure out how things work and find practical uses for scientific discoveries. Scientists and inventors often get the credit for innovations that advance the human condition, but it is engineers who are instrumental in making those innovations available to the world. I love pet animals such as dogs, cats, etc.

There are a few ways to force a script to reload and reexecute.

  • Restart the web server. This will reload all of the scripts on the server, including the script you want to force to reload.
  • Use the reload command in the browser. In most browsers, you can open the developer tools and enter the following command in the console:
reload
  • Use the kill command. If you know the process ID of the script you want to force to reload, you can use the kill command to kill the process and then restart it.
kill <process_id>

The specific steps you need to take will vary depending on your operating system and web server configuration.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when forcing a script to reload:

  • If the script is making changes to the database, you may need to flush the cache before the changes will be reflected in the browser.
  • If the script is using a session, you may need to clear the session before the script will be able to access the new data.

It is important to test any changes you make to your scripts before deploying them to production. Forcing a script to reload can disrupt your website, so it is important to do it in a controlled environment.
