# Restart a bzero agent from the ZLI

## `zli v. 6.9.5`

### New

* **Restart `bzero` from the `zli`.** Administrators can use `zli target restart <target name or id>` to manually kick off a `bzero` agent restart. This can be used as a failsafe measure in the event that a target is still online but is not accepting user connections. <mark style="color:purple;">To take advantage of this feature, you must be running</mark> <mark style="color:purple;">`zli >= 6.9.0`</mark> <mark style="color:purple;">and</mark> <mark style="color:purple;">`bzero agent >= 6.7.0`</mark>
* **Set default target user for shell, SSH, and SCP connections**. To simplify workflows, `zli v. 6.9.5` supports setting a default target user for shell, SSH, and SCP connections.
  * For shell, set your default target user by executing `zli configure default-targetuser [targetUser]`
  * For SSH or SCP, execute the command above followed by `zli generate sshConfig`. This will ensure that the `User` field in your `bzero-bz-config` is updated to reflect your set default target user
  * To reset your default target user, use `zli configure default-targetuser --reset` and if resetting the target user for SSH and SCP, also run `zli generate sshConfig`

### Fixes

* **`bzero-bz-config` generation.** Corrected a typo in the BastionZero-generated SSH configuration file comment

## `bzero v. 6.7.3`

### New

* **Restart `bzero` from the `zli`.** As noted in the `zli` changes this week, the `bzero v. 6.7.3` agent supports manual restart from the `zli`. Ensure you are running `zli >= 6.9.0` and `bzero agent >= 6.7.0` to utilize this feature

### Fixes

* **Agent version.** Resolved issue where the agent version was not reflecting accurately if the agent was upgraded using package managers. Note that this was limited to the displayed version *only* and had no impact on the agent software itself\_.\_ To ensure the correct version is displaying when viewing the targets table in the web app or `list-targets` in the `zli`, upgrade or re-register your agent. If you need help with either of these actions, reach out to [<mark style="color:purple;">product@bastionzero.com</mark>](mailto:product@bastionzero.com)
* **Leverage `.profile` when connecting through the `zli`.** Resolved issue where `zli connect` was not sourcing from the `.profile` file
