Restart button on GUI

[vicentecarro]

Could you add a restart button in the GUI that allows users to restart comfyUI without having to access the terminal? In our use case we have ComfyUI in a local server. But every time someone installs something new, I need to connect to the server and restart the thing manually. That's a pain.
It would be great to have a button for that.
Probably it would require to modify the launch script to wrap the actual launcher in an infinite loop or something, but nothing too hard I presume(at least not in Linux, no idea how to do that in Windows).

Alternatively, maybe there is a way to hot-install new resources without having to restart the whole thing...

I went ahead and implemented a reboot server button and API route on the ComfyUI server and submitted it as a PR. However in the meantime here is a link to my branch with the reboot server button included.

Cheers!

All I had to do in my ComfyUI folder is:

git pull https://github.com/ThisModernDay/ComfyUI.git reboot-button

and I was good to go!

Thanks, @ThisModernDay !!!!!

I don't recommend this because will make a problem with portable ComfyUI

[vicentecarro]

Great. Thanks! I also think it would make more sense in a less visible place like the extra options.

Updated Changes

• Added the ability to reboot the server with the click of a button
• Added an option in the settings menu to select the reboot server button location currently 3 locations are available. Menu Bar Top Icon, Small Button, Main Menu
• Added an option to toggle whether or not you have to confirm that you'd like to reboot the server

Ummm... It's already been implemented in the manager for several releases now...

The situation is slightly different. The restart button is currently implemented to be displayed only in limited scenarios, such as upon completion of tasks like an update or install. There's a possibility of it being added directly to ComfyUI, so its addition to the Manager Menu is being deferred.

I am waiting this PR.

However, the issue is that an error occurs when there is an empty space in the path in the current implementation.

Portable version is not connected to Github and can't pull anything

[badgids]

Oh... We kind of abandoned the project when the restart button was implemented in the Manager, as all we were wanting it for was to reboot after a plugin re-install.

We can fix the path issue if you're wanting to pull it.

I'd added 'restart' button to Manager menu.
You can submit PR to fix the path issue.
The original code is taken from that PR.

Thank you @ltdrdata , that's very useful
