Feature request: add command to restart LMS server

[sean-e]

I sometimes have to restart my Logitech Music Server. Currently, I do this via telnet to the server and executing the restartserver command. It would be helpful if Squeezer could execute the command via the addition of a restart command on either the Settings | Advanced | Squeezebox Information page or the Settings | Advanced | Squeezebox Information | Logitech Media Server page.

The restartserver command is documented in the Command Line Interface help page at <your_server>/html/docs/help.html.

It should only be possible with username and password activated for LMS. Otherwise people would be able to randomply connect to other people's LMSs and restart the server. But I am not sure this is possible since we cannot test if a given password is the correct one, if there is no password set on the server.

To do that I use the "SvrPowerControl" plugin installed on LMS, it works flawlessly also through Squeezer.

It can be configured for activate/deactivate the LMS server in sync with the Squeezebox:

• while turning on the Squeezebox the plugin can turn on the LMS machine from suspend
• putting on suspend the LMS machine through the plugin it causes the Squeezebox to turn off after few seconds

@thingswelostinthefire Thanks! @sean-e I hope you're happy with this, so closing this. If you still request the command to restart LMS, feel free to reopen.
