So why not present a restart button to the user on which
the perl script just exits (with exit status = 0)?
No bad idea. Do you know whether ther .rpm version does a similar thing? And
then we'd have to find a solution for Windows and OSX as well...

I think that this is an important question. Once SC7 gets out of beta,
it will get into the hands of less technical users who are unlikely to
know how to stop and start services, which they will need to do if they
want to install any plugins.

Just out of interest, why is there no built in SqueezeCenter menu item
to stop and start the service?
Because eg. on Vista you're not allowed to do this (the menu item didn't exist
in 6.5 if run on Vista already). On XP it did work in some cases, but did not
all too often. Thus it was very

So how does it work if you run SC7 as an application? Does an extra
option appear in SqueezeTray?
Yes.

I thought I'd try running SC7 as an application, since that's the
default behaviour. And thanks to the new SqueezeCenter Startup
options menu, it only takes about 30 seconds to make the switch. Very
impressive!
And I can confirm that when running SC7 as an application, I can
happily stop and
That's why the default installation will run SC as an application.
But at the moment the default for the beta is as a service, is that
correct? And this will change prior to release?
No, app mode should be default already (ever since we did these changes). But

OK, that makes sense. I did an install a while ago as a service, so it
must remember that. Thanks.

It would be possible to do the restart in software but you are saying

I'm on Debian and just looked at the manner you run SC there. The
I've just installed a plugin in the latest SC7, and I need to restart
SqueezeCenter for the plugin to take effect.
But I can't work out how to shut down and restart! There used to be a

Open SqueezeCenter.
I can do it manually
I'd suggest you just whip up a small .cmd file
Code:
net stop SqueezeServer
net start SqueezeServer
The downside is that sometimes (about half the time for me), once the
squeezeserver service has been stopped (either via the Services
applet or
You're not blind. If run as a service in Windows, you can only
stop/start/restart via the Windows services interface.

I'm new here but the same problem seems to exist in the linux version of
SC 7.0. E.g. when you install/configure a plugin it says to restart SC
but there is no apparent option to do so? It seems you are expected to

It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist
