How to restart edge from the command line

How do you restart Edge from the command line?  I'd like to automatically restart Edge every time apt updates it.  It's pretty easy to add a hook to do that, but not sure what command to run.

 

I tried `microsoft-edge edge://restart` but that didn't work.

    lyda-work   Hi!

    you may try:

    taskkill /F /IM msedge.exe

    start msedge -restore-last-session

     

    Or using PowerShell:

    Get-Process -Name msedge | ForEach-Object { $_.Stop() }

    Start-Process msedge -RestoreTabs

      Well, on Linux that would be killall microsoft-edge; microsoft-edge. But I was hoping for a slightly better solution.
