Hi

Yes, if you do configre again while in progress, then re-configure request is queued.

I do not know about interactive way, but there is a line in the log about that:

2019-06-05 01:40:57.531 <INFO> Reconfiguring
2019-06-05 01:40:57.531 <TRACE> device1: Reconfigured
2019-06-05 01:40:57.531 <TRACE> direct1: Reconfigured
2019-06-05 01:40:57.531 <TRACE> bgp1: Reconfigured
2019-06-05 01:40:57.531 <INFO> Reconfigured

The first line means reconfiguration started, the last line means it is
finished. There may still be some asynchronous work running (like
re-evaluating filters on routes if they were changed), but for all
purposes the new config is active and BIRD is in regular state.
