It’s backfired because people only read one or two posts and then offer their opinions.
For such a simple and, I thought, clear request this has generated so much confusion.
As it goes, I’m pretty sure this won’t stop here. 
As to why one would need such an option, I can only speak for myself. My Core machine (a WIN10 PC) runs headless, down in the cellar. If there is a problem, the only way to restart Roon is to power off/on the machine. Something one probably shouldn’t do. Lately, I and many other people have found it necessary to restart Roon Core on too many occasions, as evidenced by the necessity to create this thread -
.
And before someone chimes in and opines that this request option will only work if Roon is not totally locked up - That’s true, but Roon is seldom completely frozen.
