Re: Restart an application

Thanks,

works like a charm. My final solution is

eval exec [info nameofexecutable] [file normalize [info script]] $args &

and an

after 1000

at the very beginning of the program. This makes sure that the program can
release an open COM port before the new one tries to grab it.

Hello,

I have a tcl/tk application that should exit and restart itself. This is
some kind of "reset" for the program. The application runs on Linux and
Windows. The Linux box has very limited input devices, therefore I must
invoke the restart from my running application itself. After stopping my
application there is no chance for the user to interact with the system
any
more - he can reboot only.

Is there a known solution for this problem? I'm searching for a platform
independent solution. If no such solution exists, an "if
{$tcl_plaform(platform) == ..." based solution is fine too.


Just exec yourself and exit. Works on all platforms I tried it on. Any
problem with that?
If this is a script then:

exec [info nameofexecutable] [info script]
exit

If this is a wrapped app (freewrap or starpack) then just:

exec [info nameofexecutable]
exit

Pass command line arguments as necessary.
