dsh-web-restart

Upgrading dsh or any plugin requires restarting the dsh web process. Previously that meant opening a terminal, killing the process, and hoping the half-finished goal task survives. dsh-web-restart turns it into a single button at the bottom of the sidebar: one click, about ten seconds later the service is back, and interrupted sessions pick up where they left off. A colored status dot tells you at a glance whether the service is healthy, a restart is queued, or the supervisor is down.

The heavy lifting is done by a launchd-managed supervisor process that lives outside the dsh web process tree. If the service crashes unexpectedly it is revived within five seconds. Before each start it checks for missing plugin dependencies and installs them automatically, and on repeated failures it backs off its polling to avoid spinning. You never need to watch a terminal or SSH in to fix things by hand.

If you run long unattended tasks overnight, iterate on local plugins frequently, or deploy dsh to a remote machine, this plugin turns restarts into a single click and lets interrupted work resume automatically instead of requiring you to manually continue every session each morning.
