dsh-restart-control

Restarting DSH Desktop or a dsh --profile web session usually means hopping back to the terminal and dealing with pkill, osascript, or sudo—convenient for a one-off, but easy to get wrong and hard to discover in daily use. dsh-restart-control drops a Restart DSH button right into Settings → General, guarded by a native confirmation dialog, so the entire restart becomes a single intentional click.

The restart follows DSH's official graceful path. In the desktop shell it calls desktopRuntime.requestRestart(), which tears down the full Cordis plugin tree (flushing settings and session state with a 5-second grace) before relaunching the app. In pure-web mode the plugin first spawns a detached relauncher, then sends itself SIGTERM so the dsh CLI built-in handler performs the same graceful teardown; once the old process is gone the relauncher re-execs the captured argv and cwd verbatim. No shell execution, no network calls, no credential or token access, and no telemetry at any point.

Built for developers who manage models through DSH Desktop or the dsh web CLI and want the restart to be as simple and safe as pressing a button—no memorised commands, no terminal window, and semantics that match the DSH official teardown contract exactly.
