Google Colab - how to restart runtime using code?

I want to restart current runtime (Ctrl+M) using code. Something like:

!restart_runtime

Is there such an option?

You can only delete runtime using this code:

from google.colab import runtime
runtime.unassign()

Place runtime.unassign() command at the end of your script. It will disconnect and delete runtime.

After runtime deleting you should restart this manually or, maybe, using Selenium for automatically browser menu clicking.

The runtime process will restart automatically when halted. So, one way to implement restart_runtime would be:

import os

def restart_runtime():
  os.kill(os.getpid(), 9)
