sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart myapp

Reload unit definitions then restart the app

After editing a service file, daemon-reload tells systemd to re-read unit definitions — restart alone would use the stale version. Chaining them applies new ExecStart lines, environment variables, or resource limits, then restarts the app under the new unit. Run the reload first or the restart silently keeps old settings.
