How to auto-reload code when started by `play start`?

You know, in play2, we can use play ~run to auto-reload the changed code without restarting.

But now I have to use play start to start my play application on a public server, to let some users use and test.

Is there any way to let play still auto-reload?

No, that's the difference between run and start

So you just need to stop the app and run it again with:

play stop

or

kill `cat RUNNING_PID`

if it's dist version without play console

Edit: For keep running the application you should start two instances of the application and use ie. as a load balancer: http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0.2/HTTPServer (section Set-up with lighttpd)
