Hi,

It's most confusing to the new user to have no changes go live after
editing and restarting Apache (the parent of the mason_handler.fcgi
processes), while seeing an effectively empty init script (that stub
for database connections).

It looks like the solution is
http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/CleanMasonCache

But that is really crude because the .obj files in the cache seem to have
references to the original file names and the load_time as the original
timestamp. Instead, there could easily be some sort of a mason reload
command that would load those files, check the timestamps against the
filesystem, and remove or even immediately refresh the cache files that
are out of date.

The init script could call it, too.

Please consider implementing this somehow. TIA.
