I see two cases.
Case 1: you are just adding more data to an existing and already published
table, in such case you don't have to
do anything, GeoServer will pick up the new rows in the table
Case 2: you are adding new tables. In this case you can remove the manual
labor by using rest-config to configure
automatically the new layers, actually, you can use it to directly upload
the shapefile in postgis and have it
configured at the same time.
See the docs here:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/restconfig/rest-config-api.html
There are some client libraries around that might help you use restconfig
without dealing directly with http
requests for java, python and ruby
