### Restarting Pow ###

Pow runs as a Mac OS X Launch Agent. If the Pow server process
terminates, the OS will restart it automatically.

You may need to manually restart Pow if you make configuration changes
to `~/.powconfig` or modify your login environment. To tell Pow to
quit and restart, touch the global `restart.txt` file:

$ touch ~/.pow/restart.txt

Alternatively, you can use the Activity Monitor application. Find the
`pow` process in the process listing, select it, and click the Quit
Process button.
