 You don't need to restart the file.

 the dm_file is read everytime someone enters the dm command.  So you
can change it basically at any time and get the desired effect.

 Note that if the player actually saves/leaves the game, several things may
happen:

1) If its a random map, player should end up home after some amount of time.
2) If not a random map, and server has backup_save_at_home set in config.h,
   player will return to home.
3) You can manually edit the player file, changing the map to something
   like /city/city and player will end up there.
