Notes
To restart a crashed taskbar (the panels which typically contain the menu, window-selector, and various widgets):
mate-panel --replace > /dev/null&- The «/dev/null» part seems redundant; all that does is suppress output.
- The «&» allows the command to return without waiting for mate-panel to close. If omitted, you won't be able to use that terminal session or close it without also closing mate-panel.
- Summary: this can be simplified to «mate-panel --replace&», or just «mate-panel&» if it's already not running.
