I think one is a binary, two or three are scripts, and the others were launched in an infinite loop inside some of those scripts.

What about Schrödinger's pumpkin?

@meleu @cyperghost I tried to create the restart function as a separate choice from the menu, thus you first pick an option for which config file to load and then choose to restart. I tested with several of the variations of the restart command and each time I get similar results. The script works fine, but after running it, the start/quit menu runs an auto restart, no different than when the restart command is within the actual config change function. I am at a loss, like charlie brown waiting for the great pumpkin to appear :)

@TMNTturtlguy what's the version of your RetroPie-Setup? It must be 4.2.8+

@meleu I am not at my pi right now, but i updated again about 12 hours ago, so it is the current version as of then.

Added new possibilities to ES RESTART THREAD

@cyperghost Wow! We're looking like a bunch of murderers... There are many threads showing that there are many ways to kill EmulationStation. And I suspect the most promising is this one.

I just checked the thread and I am not clear what edits you made today? We have gone through so many ways to kill (per @meleu) that i can't keep what codes are what, and what new possibilities you added/modified.
Thanks

@meleu That looks really promising ... But AS you know I am not a scraper. Indeed the caurosel view is fine. Maybe in not a far future all databases are setted to SQL and then it is easier to exchange ready scraped Databases. What do you think?
@TMNT in the thread are all working scripts listed inkl. how to and version numbering
