synctl restart

Restart the Synapse homeserver process

Stops then starts Synapse, which is the standard step after editing homeserver.yaml so changes take effect. Run from the install directory with the virtualenv active. For worker-based deployments, restart all workers too, or use the -a flag to restart every process at once.
