Is it possible to restart the gateway service from the gateway web frontend (by API method or other), and or is there a way to do this from Perspective?
It would be a nice option over having to log into my servers for this purpose.
I believe restoring a backup will restart the service, but that’s the only way that i know of to do it from the web front end.

Restoring a backup is certainly one way to restart the service. Another way would be with EAM, this can be done with the UI or the API. You could create a restart gateway task and that would trigger on demand or at a certain time, depending on the configuration. Agent Tasks | Ignition User Manual

It's not directly possible in 8.1, but 8.3 adds a restart method to our new REST API, via
POST /data/api/v1/restart-tasks/restart?confirm=true (with an authenticated API key).

Paul, that’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you sir!
Paul,
Is there anywhere we can see, documentation or other, about API calls of this sort?
Thanks in advance,
William Ivey
After you log into your v8.3 gateway, you would visit the /openapi URL on the gateway. The API presented will have the platform endpoints plus the endpoints specific to the modules you have installed.
