+# restart.sh - Jellyfin server restart script
+# Part of the Jellyfin project (https://github.com/jellyfin)
+#
+# This script restarts the Jellyfin daemon on Linux when using
+# the Restart button on the admin dashboard. It supports the
+# systemctl, service, and traditional /etc/init.d (sysv) restart
+# methods, chosen automatically by which one is found first (in
+# that order).
+#
+# This script is used by the Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/CentOS packages.
