Restart child bridge from cmd

[WojtekWro]

Hi,
Is there a chance to restart child bridge using cmd?
One of my accessories on child bridge tends to freeze. Restart of child bridge solves the problem. I would like to automatise this procedure.

If you use

ps -ef | grep homebridge

it will show each child and the plugin name so you can kill it

This is not I have expected.
Each time process id is different so it's not possible to us this automatically.
However thank you for your answer :-)

On Linux systems systems, you can run:

kill -15 $(pidof 'homebridge: homebridge-dummy')

Replace homebridge-dummy with the name of the plugin.

Hi, as usual, amazing work ! Thanx !
Works great, but a more user friendly solution should be great too for all users testing configs (as I am with my tizen TV... lot of restarts :) )
May be a feature request ???

@IMNotMax why not just use Homebridge UI to make the easy restart?

[IMNotMax]

Because I don't want to restart all the plugins everytime. Child bridges are an excellent (amazing !) solution for testing config and isolating "unstable" plugings.
That's why "isolating" the restart could be a great function... i think ;)

@IMNotMax on the Homebridge UI, this is an option to restart only the child bridges.

Can you give me a clue where to find this interface ? (everything is up to date on my container and I still can't find this !)

UPDATE : Ok, my bad, there is a widget I have to add to show child bridges status...
