Establish Restart Domoticz in Menu

[imautohuttraeger]

Today, the menu "setup / more options" includes

Restart System and Shutdown System (related to the OS)

I would additionally like to have at least

Restart Domoticz

Maybe also Stop Domoticz and Start Domoticz, but I think it would only make sense, if a click on "Start" is working on a stoped Domoticz (as the page of a stopped Domoticz would actually be kind of non-responsive, or would it work on kind of such a freezes page?)

How would you start Domoticz if it is stopped and therefore the webinterface is not able to communicate with the system.
You could make a os script which stops and starts Domoticz and use a dummy button to execute. A separate stop and start will need an extra interface to the os like a minimal webserver or if you want really minimal use netcat. Security is gone in that way.

Sounds like a good idea to have a restart Domoticz button in the menu
A reboot button is to my opion not required as i don't want to stop a server with a button which is accessable by users so easy

Maybe a better place could be in the config/settings menu

@MadPatrick
I agree: Today's controling of the OS via Domoticz is not helpful. Maybe a complete exchange from "System" to "Domoticz" would be reasonable.

Indeed. Most likely only Restart Domoticz makes sense.
