 == Commands ==
 
 Once connected to blabouncer with a client, you can use the following commands:
 
 "BLABOUNCER REPLAY [[[[days:]hours:]minutes:]seconds]" (To replay a given length of time of replay log.)
 "BLABOUNCER QUIT [quit message]" (To quit blabouncer, optionally sending [quit message] to the server.)
+"BLABOUNCER REHASH" (To reload settings from the configuration file, see above for details.)
 
 Blabouncer commands are all prefixed with BLABOUNCER which you can usually send using "/QUOTE BLABOUNCER".
