# restart(1p)

## NAME

restart -- call bin/interchange "-"r with possible su

## VERSION

1\.0

## SYNOPSIS

```
        restart [-f]
```

## DESCRIPTION

The `"restart"` script just tries to execute `"interchange"` `"-r"` with the proper permissions. If the user is "root", a prompt will be made to see if you want to start as the guessed user ID. (This is the contents of the `$Global::VendRoot`/\_uid file.)

## OPTIONS

The `"-f"` flag prevents the prompt for superuser and forces quiet mode; this is how you might call Interchange from a system startup script.
