# Restart Script

Start the IPFS Daemon as background - the application will wait for the script to exit

#### Example Script (with ```screen```):

```

SCREEN="ipfs"

screen -X -S $SCREEN quit 2> /dev/null > /dev/null #kill if running

waitforstop() {

  screen -S $SCREEN -X alive 2> /dev/null > /dev/null

  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

    echo -n "."

    sleep .25s

    waitforstop $1

  else

    sleep .5s

  fi

}

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

  echo -n "stopping..."

  waitforstop $SCREEN

  echo "ok"

fi

which ipfs 2> /dev/null > /dev/null

if ! [ $? -eq 0 ]; then export PATH="/usr/local/bin/:$PATH"; fi #fix missing PATH location

echo -n "restarting..."

screen -dmS $SCREEN ipfs daemon #start

waitfor() {

  screen -S $SCREEN -X alive 2> /dev/null > /dev/null

  if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then

    echo "failed!"

    exit 2

  fi

  curl $1  --connect-timeout 1 -m 1 -s 2>/dev/null > /dev/null #try to load webui

  if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then

  echo -n "."

    sleep .25s

    waitfor $1

  else

    echo "ok"

    exit 0

  fi

}

waitfor "localhost:5001/webui"

```
