How to restart the bot?

Question

Bots

I added .py files to the directory through the bot

. Now I want to completely restart the bot, by entering the command in the bot itself, i.e. fully load all files with command handlers on a new one.

Does anyone have any ideas how this can be done?

Answer 1

My bot is launched by the supervisored service, it can restart the script when it completely crashes, but it didn’t work for me to end the bot from the function, the process does not end.
For now I use for telegram (python-telegram-bot)*:

def cmd_restart_service(update, context):
    if update.message.from_user.id == 777777777: # id пользователя
        import subprocess

        update.message.reply_text("будет исполнено...")
        subprocess.run("sudo supervisorctl restart mybotname".split())

And I have no honor for this :)
* External restart commands and such a possibility itself depend on the operating system/service/services/settings where the bot is running.
