[gravytrain84]

Whats the difference? Thanks

Respring will restart your SpringBoard while restart will restart the entire device.

Whats the difference? Is one better than another?

If you made changes to your SpringBoard, it's easier to just re-spring. If you installed a new app via Cydia, I recommend restarting.

Think of it being similar to the Log Off and Restart functions on your computer. One keeps the OS core running while one completely shuts it down before coming back.

Refresh generally just reloads a page being displayed. Like F5 key for browser.

It refreshes the status of the toggles. Sometimes SBS fails to update properly when settings are changed in Settings, etc. Refresh will make sure that the latest statuses are shown. I've sometimes, for instance, had the SSH toggle incorrectly display as on until I hit refresh.

Learned something new. I’d never bothered hitting that.
