Not sure my question was clear.  When I make a change to a LuCI menu
how can I see that change without rebooting the router?  I have
noticed that if I change model/cbi/mini/myapp.lua the changes are
reflected immediately upon a page reload.

But the changes I make to controller/mini/myapp.lua (modifying menus)
are not reflected in the menus until after a router reboot.
