I just don't understand. We are all simply trying to touch-off to a work piece by pressing a button on our pendents. When we do that, we a mostly triggering a sub routine to probe down, and set the working offset. However, Linuxcnc will not refresh the new offset plot in this manner, so we must reload the program.
All the experts say to use a M-Code to do a axis-remote --reload. However, when we all try that, we get errors. Then we ask why, and they say you can't do that while running a m-code????
I have searched the internet for many days on how to solve this simple problem, and it seems that lots of people have given advise, but never really tried it themselves. Zero working examples!

Refreshing the plot is a perfectly natural thing to want to do.
Wanting to reload a _running_program_ is just asking for trouble.
I wish I knew enough Python / tcl to know if it was trivial to add a
"refresh" command to Axis.
