The command "espanso restart" is used to restart the espanso text expander service.

Espanso is a cross-platform text expander tool that allows you to define abbreviations or shortcuts that expand into longer phrases or sentences. It helps increase your productivity by automating repetitive typing tasks.

When you execute the command "espanso restart", it stops the espanso service if it is already running, and then starts it again. Restarting the service is useful when you have made changes to your espanso configuration file and want those changes to take effect without having to log out or restart your computer.

By using the "espanso restart" command, you can ensure that any modifications you have made to your text expansions will be immediately available for use.
