Description Bassio 2008-06-24 21:53:57 UTC 
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? :)
Comment 2 Bassio 2008-06-25 18:32:34 UTC 
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ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.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!
