What is the best way to update environment variables coming from a configmap?

Hello,

is there anyway to update environment variables injected using a config map (envFrom directive) on the fly ?
The only way I found is restarting the pod after changing the config. is there a more elegant way ?

Env vars live within the process. You can not change them from
outside. This is their major failing.

That would be a cool feature.
