Yup.  That's the stuff I've found.  No explanation about what it means
to "restart".

(I also am confused by the references to the "Manual Restart" option.  I
dont see that in the group attributes at all... )

Oh, understood.  I just can't find any reference in the manauls that
describes this behavior.

Before you 'restart', can you view the group details and see if the
'work list' has anything in it, or is it empty?
