I have no idea, as I don't use PitBull. You'd need to look through its code to figure out which function(s) it calls to update itself when you change the profile. However, I can't think of any situation where you need to change the profile in a hurry, so taking a few seconds to open the configuration window and change it the intended way shouldn't be an issue.
If you're trying to change the profile when you switch specs, for example, you could take a look at the addon Reflux, which lets you set up profiles for addon profiles, and switch between them with slash commands.
And PB4 is entirely capable of switching profiles without a reload. Pretty sure PB3 was too but it probably had some bugs that made it safer to reload.

That's like saying using CTRL-C to copy text isn't important because you wouldn't be in such a hurry as to not be able to right click and select copy.
A lot of people use different frames for healing then they do for DPSing, and when you are switching between healing and DPSing every 15 minutes in a raid it's nice to save some time. I'd also prefer not to go to the extra step of running another addon for a single purpose, when I can easily use a script to do it with what I already have.
Thank's Shefki, I'll have to go play with my macro's now =)

I haven't used PB4, but PB3, when I used it, was most certainly not capable of switching profiles without a reload... basic settings like frame sizes and positions were not applied until after a reload. :p

Hello,
Long time avid fan of Pitbull here. I just have a quick question as to whether it's possible to switch profiles via a slash command?
ie. /pitbull profile RogueRaid2

Curse Premium/run PitBull4.db:SetProfile("Heal")
Where Heal is the name of the profile.
