Restart the owner's workbench

What it does

Restart the owner's workbench container on this box, in place. Every Claude session on the box ends -- the one calling this, if it runs there. Those running are told first and given about thirty seconds to pause. The box wakes those that were running about six minutes later, the soonest claude.ai lets them back; environments keep running, and Remote Control restarts on its own. For a workbench that is wedged or out of memory. Ask the owner first, with confirm: true only once they have said yes.

What it needs to know

confirm · optional

Actually restart. Without this, only say what it would do.

box · optional

Which box: its name and account, "home.frank" or "jordan.northwind", or just "home" when only one of your boxes is called that. Omit it for your current box (switch_box changes it; list_boxes says which it is).

session_box · optional

The box this session runs on, if it runs on one of yours: its name, as the on-box instructions give it ("frankh90.hemlane"). With it, a call that names no box is checked against your current box.

Where it lands

On one of your boxes: the one named in box, or your default box when none is named. It removes something, so Claude confirms with you before calling it.
