Hi all,
Very good morning!
In our project we have a requirement where the application needs the kde related config files to be updated and windows settings done with these kde config files like kwinrc, kwinrulesrc , plasma-desktoprc should reflect the changes without reboot.
The script goes like this , we have two users root and local both loaded with individual folders with kde-specific config files that gets loaded as soon as the script is called.
What we are aiming is when i load these files and new files gets copied to the location why is it not reflecting the changes, its reflects only after the machine reboot.
If am not clear with the problem statement please write to me and request someone to assist me on this !!
Thanks
Shivani

Well if it was gnome - you can restart the 'gdm.service' , but I'm not sure what is the kde service name.

Re: How to restart KDE session without machine reboot
I haven't used KDE in a long while, but does something like this work?

Re: How to restart KDE session without machine reboot
Thanks guys .
Gdm service restart does a complete start of the application like 2 seconds it sinks the output and reloads the entire OS, i just wanted a workspace manager restart.
killall plasma-desktop acts weirdly doing nothing on the screen

Re: How to restart KDE session without machine reboot
Maybe you should try the following Ubuntu Solution. It seems that it worked for OpenSuse, maybe it will work in CentOS also.
