restart¶

Restart Openbase-managed services.

In the apps: Settings → Openbase Services in the desktop app and console offers the same restart controls.

Usage¶

openbase-coder restart [OPTIONS]
openbase-coder self-restart [OPTIONS]

With no options, this schedules a detached restart of every Openbase-managed launchd service:

all Openbase launchd services
the Openbase Coder API/MCP host through django-cli

Dispatcher context is preserved by default. Use --recreate-dispatcher when you need a new dispatcher thread; a normal restart intentionally keeps the existing dispatcher route state.

The Super Agents MCP stdio process is owned by the client that spawned it, such as Codex. openbase-coder restart does not kill or restart that process.

Options¶

Option	Default	Description
`--service NAME`	all services	Restart exactly one Openbase-managed service
`--delay FLOAT`	`8.0`	Seconds to wait before restarting
`--recreate-dispatcher`	off	Clear dispatcher state and recreate it during restart

openbase-coder self-restart is an alias for a full Openbase-managed service restart. It supports --delay and --recreate-dispatcher, but does not accept --service.

Examples¶

openbase-coder restart
openbase-coder restart --service livekit-agent
openbase-coder restart --recreate-dispatcher
openbase-coder self-restart --recreate-dispatcher
