Unless the restart was typed in, it stops with the message \"Can't restart automatically. Type \/restart at the prompt.\"\n\n**Why**\n\nThe first gives plugins more they can do. The second means a restart only happens when you ask for it yourself with `\/restart`.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `\/restart`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
