Subject: Restarting ruby interepter

Is there a way to restart the ruby interepter so it unloads all the 
classes and reloads the initial script?

I'm writing something you might call "Ruby application server", Often a 
change in configuration or in one of the classes requries server restart.

I took the approach of having a small "loader" script, which forks and 
loads the main script, waits until it dies, and repeating the process if 
it dies with certain exit code, It works, but I don't like doing things 
this way, I wonder if there is a cleaner way to do these stuff...
