Adding to .pot file

There may be other ways, but quitting and restoring the hashcat session will reread the pot file.

Thank you for your reply. Let me restate. There are other sites that post cracked hash:password sets. Others have already done the heavy lifting. Wouldn't it be a time saver to take these hash:password sets and add them to one's .pot file? Isn't this essentially adding passwords to one's dictionary?
