Answer 4

In the uwsgi.ini settings, you need to add the parameter touch-reload. It points to the name of the file, when it changes, the application auto-restarts. You can write a bash script that simply adds something like restart [current date and time] to this file and you get something like a django restart log.
In practice (at least for me), everything will auto-restart even if changes occur in any python-file of the project. I don't know why. The uwsgi.ini of the project contains:

touch-reload = /home/[user]/[адрес сайта]/logs/[адрес_сайта]_reload.log
