[Qgis-user] Enable, disable, and restart a plugin through QGIS API

[Gmail]

Dear QGIS Mailing List,

I was wondering if there were a way to enable, disable, and/or restart a
plugin through the API?

I'm looking into writing a check marked file menu plugin where the user
toggling through uncheck(disable) and check(enable) menu options,
restarts the plugin.

I am not sure if this possible or not but I'm open to suggestions;
however, i think it makes for easier plugin development and usability.

Any advice is greatly appreciated,
