Hello,

do you want to restart Cinema from within Cinema or from an external script (as Shawn described)?

Best wishes,

I like to restart cinema within Cinema

You can then use the CallCommand:

c4d.CallCommand(12104) # Quit

However this will not restart Cinema. The only way to do this (Inside of Cinema) is using C++ with RestartApplication()

Hello,

you can c4d.RestartMe() to restart Cinema from Python. This function is not yet listed in the documentation as there may be rare cases where it can cause a crash.

Cool to know, works all the way down to R12.
Should be good to have known then (for updating plugins) :)
