Restart Django production server (passenger wsgi)

I uploaded a modified views.py to the production server, but it's still using the old code. I also deleted the views.pyc and views.py to see if it'd clear it's old cached python code. That worked after a while of waiting the past few times, but I really want to know how to do things quickly. The site is hosted on dreamhost and is using passenger wsgi.

How do I quickly and manually restart it so that it'll use my new views.py code?

If you modified your application and your changes do not seem to be reflected, you may need to notify Passenger about your change by creating or modifying ~/example.com/tmp/restart.txt:

touch /home/user/example.com/tmp/restart.txt

Passenger looks for this file and reloads the application when this file is modified.
