Hi @iMshivji, restarting a process require multiple things, like commandline paramteres, working directory, enviroment and invoking user etc. The current implementation of restart process is not applicable to all processes. We can only add this to ptop if we have a more concrete restart function that is able to restart all the processes. You can use subProcess to set all this params before starting the process. Lets try to implement that, I will be happy to help. Adding some code for more understanding,

>>> k = psutil.Process(int(5708))
>>> k.cmdline()
['tail', '-f', '.ptop.log']
>>> k.cwd()
'/home/darxtrix'
>>> k.username()
'darxtrix'
>>> k.environ()
# My environment params
