With pen <= 0.6.2, it was not possible to change a running process at all.
With the next release, it can be done like this (simplified):
pen -C localhost:2222 virtualhost:www \
server0:www server1:www server2:www server3:www \
server4:www server5:www server6:www
Now the control interface can be used to modify parameters:
penctl localhost:2222 server 1 max 100
I'll release 0.6.3 (which includes the penctl tool) in a few moments.
Please stand back. ;-)
