Changing config without restart

Will it hurt the IRCd if I change ./Config options and not restart the IRCd? For example, I want to turn on some functions in ./Config -advanced and not have to restart until the server crashes or box goes down..

I don't think, if it's already possible, that the changes will become active untill you have done a restart.

i thought it was possible with rehash which reloads the configuration but i dont know if that applies to linx* but you should be able to do rehash command as oper and it will still do the same thing

That would reload Unreal's unrealircd.conf file, not changes made by performing the command "./Config".

I know the changes won't go into effect.. what I am asking is, if the changes will screw up the current version that is running? I just want to recompile now so the next time I need to do something, it will only need restarted..

It is possible and safe to recompile Unreal while it is running.

.. but you might (in some cases, depending on the ./Config changes) be unable to /rehash, because the modules are no longer 'fit' for your ircd.
That is, if you did 'make install' or are running from Unreal3.2 dir directly of course..
