  You might try something like this:

https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/master/scripts/git/post-receive

  We use it to put configuration into a git repo.  When commits get
pushed to the local configuration, the script is run.  It checks if the
configuration is clean, and if so, restarts the process.

  If the configuration doesn't work, the script complains.

  This gets two benefits.  One, you always know that the configuration
works.  And two, configuration changes are kept in a source control system.
