Build Identifier: Version: Helios Service Release 1;Build id: 20100917-0705

The generic console has a stop button to kill any running program. But the re-run last program button is way up in the toolbar. I generally don't need to terminate any program forcefully, but the servers always need to be terminated this way. So it will be convenient if the restart button for the server is there right next to the stop/terminate button.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. The restart button is not there in Console, so it's a feature request. Only stop button is there.

I can read this enhancement as a general enhancement rather than a WTP specific one. 

So to rephrase your enhancement, the console view should add a restart button to the process that owns the console output.

Yes, that will fulfill the purpose.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
