The plugin RPC command allows to manage plugins without having to
restart lightningd. It takes 1 to 3 parameters: a command
(start/stop/startdir/rescan/list) which describes the action to take and
optionally one or two parameters which describes the plugin on which the
action has to be taken.
The start command takes a path as the first parameter and will load
the plugin available from this path. Any additional parameters are
passed to the plugin. It will wait for the plugin to complete the
handshake with lightningd for 20 seconds at the most.
The stop command takes a plugin name as parameter. It will kill and
unload the specified plugin.
The startdir command takes a directory path as first parameter and will
load all plugins this directory contains. It will wait for each plugin to
complete the handshake with lightningd for 20 seconds at the most.
The rescan command starts all not-already-loaded plugins from the
default plugins directory (by default ~/.lightning/plugins).
The list command will return all the active plugins.
