Linux/Unix signal to tell ebook-viewer to reload currnenly viewed file

Hi, In particular if I use pgrep to extract the PID of a running ebook-viewer
command on linux, what signal, if any, can I send it to reload the file
in a manner that's similar to evince, for example?

I know, of course, that one can use a keyboard CTRL-R.

Hi, Thanks for your work. Can caibre be told to reload file if it detects a change in the file?
For example if I copy a new epub book over the one currently being viewed will calibre
reload without being told explicitly via the UI?

No there is currently no auto-reload functionality, but it can be added, open a ticket requesting it.
