RESTART ENIGMA 2 VIA TELNET ON THE PC

There may become a time when you need to restart the enigma 2 gui (interface) without a hard reset of the box, probably due to a system lockup or a failed EPG reload.

Based on Windows XP

On your PC Start Telnet via Start>Run>cmd {enter}




Replace "x" with the correct IP of your box.

Now Login with your username and password


Now stop enigma2, and it will automattically restart.


You will get a cannot kill process message but do not worry.

The reason enigma2 automatically restarts is the startup script is running and will start enigma2 if it is not running.
