Typically, not really. If a software is badly built, it isn't as simple as following a set of well-described instructions. Random stuff breaks all the time due to hidden dependencies to other servicea, and debugging it is definitely not a job to be entrusted to an intern. If it was easy to restart, you could write a cron job for it.
