 Default config path is `/etc/gohookr.json`.
 It can be overriden by setting environment variable `CONFIG`.
 
+The config file will be re-read every request so service configs can be changed without restarting
+the service (unless you want to change the listening port).

 Check below for an example configuration, which should tell you most of the things you need to know
 to configure gohookr.
 
-Currently gohookr must be restarted after config changes.
