restart

This command restarts one or more services.

Interface

restart [ -h ] [ -P ] service...

This command bring down and bring up again a service. This command expects to find an already running service.

The 66 -t command option have no effect. 66 will detect automatically the associated tree of the service along its required-by dependencies.

In case of module service type, all services within the module are restarted.

Multiple services can be disabled by separating their names with a space.

This command handles interdependencies.

Options

• -h: prints this help.

• -P: Do not handle service dependencies. In such cases, the restart command will not attempt to restart the services that are dependent on the service, regardless of their current state.

Usage examples

66 restart foo

Restarts the foo service without handling its required-by dependencies

66 restart -P foo
