Emby Server does not restart from the web interface:

Emby on Linux does not have the built in capability to restart itself. Thus, for Emby to restart a helper script is used. The helper script named restart.sh can be found on most distributions at /usr/lib/emby-server. The script can only restart Emby, if it was started by a service manager program such as systemctl, service, or invoke-rc.d. If for some reason the helper script does not successfully restart Emby for you, please check the following:

• Ensure helper script is executable.
• Ensure Emby was started via a service manager.
