How to restart de server without stoping the task?

[jbarrerobuch]

Hi there,

I have it working pretty well so far, with a mounted EFS, route56, and plugins manually installed.
I am now setting up the plugins' configurations from an EC2 with the EFS mounted to it. I need to test and restart continously the server to load the new configuration.

I've been doing so by stopping and start the service's task over and over again. I tried to use the ECS Exec to send the /restart command to the server's terminal but it wasn't recognized. (I may have configured it wrong).
However I realized I could use /restart from the in game chat. I did, and the server shutdown but never restarted and in the end I had to restart the task.

I've seen a significant increase of cost when I have to restrat multiple times the server, so I was wondering if there's any way to restart it without stopping the task.

Thanks.
