Hi everyone,

Currently, I am working on something which requires loading a new configuration into Orthanc. The problem is that the server is started as a service in Windows 10 at booting time. As I am aware, I need to restart the Orthanc server in order to get it up and running with the newest configuration but Orthanc itself does not provide a restart flag under Windows.

Is there any way, besides rebooting the PC, to restart the Orthanc server locally?
When I'm starting my PC, will the Orthanc use the default configuration file or as I have specified before the restart?

Thanks :)

Hola yo apago y reinicio el servicio de esta manera con un archivo .bat

@echo off

net stop Orthanc

timeout /t 5

TASKKILL /F /IM Orthanc.exe /T

timeout /t 5

net start Orthanc

If you can use the REST API, you might also try POSTing to the tools/reset endpoint. See: https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/rest-cheatsheet.html
