ok great !

And how can we generate the config && reload network from here ? 
Can we call an external perl script ?

This is low-level C-code inside pmxcfs (corosync). Please not that INotify does not work at all 
on /etc/pve/ - instead, we use versions numbers to track changes (see /etc/pve/.version).
