> in development its very common to want to trash the data directory, stop karaf then start again. Its kinda painful.
> it'd be good to do this in a single command.
> {code}
> restart:clean

> which would move the ./data directory somewhere (into an old directory, maybe numbered so you've a history of logs etc) and then doing a System.exit(something) such that the shell script knows its a restart, where the shell script could then restart the JVM again.
> I can imagine this being useful in distributed testing/production uses where you want to basically restart a server from scratch so it might fetch new bundles on startup etc (without worrying about old stuff being stuck in the JVM).
> I guess restarting is one thing - and restarting clean (with the data directory going) is a secondary optional extra
