What command i need to restart only Node Red?
asked
Restart only Node Red
killall node-red
or
svc -t /service/node-red-venus
or even easier
use the soft switch from the Venus OS Large menu on the remote console. Disabled will stop Node-RED, enabled will start it again.
I want to replicate the Node Red soft switch from the Venus OS Large menu on the remote console, in a node red dashboard using a button and an exec command. Which commands should I execute to stop and the start node red?
You can stop node-red with exec-node, but you cannot start it from node-red, since it has stopped.
With the killall node-red command in an exec node, node-red will automatically restart
I struggle to get the Exec Node to work.
I have tried the following config:

I asked the question to Copilot in Bing.
"It" gave me a new Exec node that works fine:

Hi @Anders
You've had a space between the kill and all in the previous script.
The command is killall, one word, without spaces.
