Description

In some cases, it would be very helpful if we could tell the DCS component to restart all of its mxosrvrs at the next opportunity.

There are several reasons why one would want this:

• We may have installed a temporary patch to the executable file and want to phase out any mxosrvrs using the old executable.
• We may have changed the system defaults table and want all the mxosrvrs to pick up new system defaults
• We may want to free up all the resources like ESPs, UDR servers, etc. held by the mxosrvrs

With "restart at the next opportunity", what I mean by that is to restart all the servers in the AVAILABLE state immediately. The servers that are currently connected should be restarted once they become available after disconnecting.
