Restart Checkpoint Smart Center only

Neither mine nor new idea, but it comes to the top 10 questions I hear on a daily basis so here is how to restart Smart Center only, that is if it is a stand alone installation where Smartcenter resides on the same machine where the firewall module does,this command will stop then start Smart Center only NOT influencing the firewall function in anyway. This way firewalling will run uninterrupted with no down time.
I guess I took it from CPUG forum .Stop SmartCenter :
cpwd_admin stop -name FWM -path "$FWDIR/bin/fw" -command " fw kill fwm"

Start it again :
cpwd_admin start -name FWM -path "$FWDIR/bin/fwm" -command "fwm"
