Beschreibung

When I am programming a long running application (like a web api), I'd like to have a feature where the program that has been executed after building is killed when a source code change is found.

For example, I am building an api using Servant and I would like to run it like this:

$ stack build --file-watch --exec "stack exec -- my-api"

Everytime I change one of my source files, it would be nice if stack automatically killed and restarted my-api.

Currently stack just waits until my-api is finished running (which never happens).
