Re: Restarting services

[Chip Seraphine]

Well, you can use the 'restart' option with a processes: stanza, but I think 
you are really looking for a way to restart from a list, right?

Shellcommands doesn't support iterators (AFAIK), so your best bet is probably 
longhand.  You could do something cute with a variable containing a list or a 
module, but that would carry a cost in transparency.

'course, so does generating code from a template....
