Does your tool_conf.xml file have monitor="true" on the toolbox tag
(e.g. <toolbox monitor="true"> -
https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/config/tool_conf.xml.sample#L2)?
I guess the tool reload option will only work in a single process
setup - but the monitoring with watchdog should be sufficient to not
need this button at all when working properly.

Also, if I try to run a new tool I've added sometimes this will fail presumably because that process doesn't have the update. The only fix for this seems to be a galaxy restart.
