Respring - restarts SpringBoard with two taps on iPhone/iPod touch

Respring is the small application which restarts SpringBoard. Some other applications like SysInfo have the same feature. But this applications is very easy to use.

Interestingly, this application is implemented as a shell script with the alert command of Erica's Utilities:

#!/bin/sh
/var/root/bin/alert -C -b 'Restart SpringBoard now?'
if [ "$?" = "1" ]; then
  launchctl stop com.apple.SpringBoard
fi
