Version: (using KDE 4.0.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Is it possible to have the ability to restart a process from within the system activity (Ctrl+Escape) Now there are some like terminate, kill, renice, suspend but there is no restart functionality instead of having to log into a konsole and typing the command
Hmm, I was thinking of adding functionality to restart services - apache etc. I suppose it could be possible to restart normal programs, but why exactly? :)
Exactly! :) In fact I was thinking just what you were thinking .. something that can restart services like cups, apache etc etc. I did not mean programs in particular .. but the benefit is from restarting services exactly as you mentioned. :)
This really requires upstream support - probably requiring support in upstart ( I think most distros are going towards this?) I've been bugging the upstart people for a way to do this, but more bigger bugs to squish at the moment. They are estimating several years before I can do this :-D I'm not entirely sure on the way forward. It's a shame debian distros don't support /etc/init.d/* status commands.
ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task. If your wish is still valid for the Plasma 6 replacement, please re-open and we can move this bug to the new product, thanks!
