zopectl reload not working

[Bug Importer]

Hi,

zopectl reload gives me an error:

Error: positional arguments are not supported
For help, use /home/andreas/zope27/lib/python/Zope/Startup/zopectl.py -h
Configuration not reloaded

Changes: importance (medium => low), new comment

Note that the 'reload' verb is not likely to do what you expect:
it causes the *controller* process (zopectl itself) to reparse
its command line / reload its config file. It has *no* effect on
the daemonized child at all.

This is still broken in 2.9.3.

Although it was mentioned by tseaver that "It has *no* effect on the daemonized child at all". Actually I really find it usefull because you don't need to restart the whole zope when experimenting with the zope.conf file

[Hanno Schlichting (hannosch)]

While the command might not be particular useful, the error still persists in Zope 2.12.
