How do I restart Docker for Mac from the terminal?

docker, docker-for-mac

Solution

Specifically for Docker for Mac, because it's a "GUI" app, there's a workaround:

`osascript -e 'quit app "Docker"'`

Since you'd want to restart, here's the way to open it from the command line:

`open -a Docker`

There's probably a more symmetrical command to open using `osascript`, but the `open` command seems more common than the `osascript` one.

Problem

Docker for Mac has a neat little 'restart' button in the dropdown from the whale icon in the menu bar. I'd like to be able to restart Docker for Mac from the terminal, though. What command would I need to run?
