if it comes to it you can always go to runlevel 1 (init 1), when it
prompts for
the root password hit CTRL-D to come back to runlevel 2. that will
effectivly
restart all programs on the system except (i think) init, and of course
the 
kernel.

restarting programs really depends on the program, some have scripts to
restart them, others respond to the  -HUP kill signal, but not all. init
1
is the next best thing to rebooting without actually having to reboot.
