wer restart

Restart one or more workstations by stopping and starting them.

Usage

wer restart <type> <name> [name ...] [flags]

Description

The restart command stops and then starts the specified workstations. If a workstation is running, it will be stopped then started. If a workstation is already stopped, it will just be started. This is useful for applying configuration changes that require a reboot, or for recovering from a problematic state.
