This StackOverflow thread looks relevant to that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11329917/restart-python-script-from-within-itself This recipe looks promising: ```python import os import sys import psutil import logging def restart_program(): """Restarts the current program, with file objects and descriptors cleanup """ try: p = psutil.Process(os.getpid()) for handler in p.get_open_files() + p.connections(): os.close(handler.fd) except Exception, e: logging.error(e) python = sys.executable os.execl(python, python, *sys.argv) ``` https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.execl says about `os.execl`: > These functions all execute a new program, replacing the current process; they do not return. On Unix, the new executable is loaded into the current process, and will have the same process id as the caller | {"total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0} | 718910318 |
