How to make mupdf automatically refresh a document Upon opening a pdf in `evince` and then making a change to that document (recompiling it in LaTeX), `evince` will automatically refresh to the latest version of the document. `mupdf` however does not do this: it keeps showing the version I originally opened. The latest version can be loaded with the `r` command, but is there a way to make `mupdf` behave like `evince` in that respect? The manual doesn’t mention this.

Poke `mupdf` with a `HUP` signal after the document changes (e.g. after recompiling it, or use `entr` or something to note the filesystem change)


pkill -HUP mupdf


or with more complication one might write an open-or-signal-`mupdf` script.
