Restart Daemon on Mac?

Is it possible to kill / restart the daemon on a Mac? I've had a couple of instances where the app has stopped responding and I've had to restart the entire machine to fix, which seems a bit overkill.

Sure - My Media installs as a launchd daemon, so launchctl should work:

Code: Select all

sudo launchctl stop com.bizmodeller.mymedia
This will actually restart it as the service descriptor tells it to restart on failure. Alternatively:

Code: Select all

ps -ef  | grep MyMedia
and kill the process.

But - if it is hanging, please do send us log files from ~/.MyMediaForAlexa/MyMediaForAlexa.log so we can troubleshoot and resolve.
