How to restart forwarders splunkd app after deploying new apps?

I have created a number of apps and push them out using the command line.  In the serverclass.conf I want to add a restart of the forwarders.  This is what I have so far:


[default]
restartSplunkd = true
issueReload = true

[serverClass:duke_test_app:app:duke_test_app]
restartSplunkWeb = 0
restartSplunkd = 1
stateOnClient = enabled

[serverClass:duke_test_app]
whitelist.0 =xxxxxx

Will this work?

That looks like it will work.  The app stanza doesn't need restartSplunkd since it's already set globally.
