Is the @restart needed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I fail to see a reason that the @restart is necessary after installation.

Looking at the archives, it apparently went in in 4.3, possibly as part of
the significant increase in use of @wait me in the command code; I'm
suspecting the @restart helped clear up any lingering issues with semaphores.

With jobs 6, we no longer use semaphores.  The only functions I can see for
a @restart would be:
1. Trigger @startup. We can do this manually if we want, but I don't think
we actually need any startups anymore.
2. Force a save of the database after install.  This is reasonable, but we
could just as easily @dump.
3. Force a reread of helpfiles.  This can also be done with @readcache, but
really requires the user to have uploaded the jhelp.txt file and configured
it properly.  

I think the @restart can/should be removed.
