Restarting background work items

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

We have upgraded our production system to 4.6C this weekend (hooray) and I have
only one small problem left.
 
I have some batch work items left in status STARTED because they were trying to
execute a transaction which was locked. I was sure there was a way to restart
these, but I can't find out how. The closest I have come is the menu choice in
Work item selection: Edit, Work item, Execute background work item. That does
however not help a bit.
 
>From the documentation it seems that these should be handled (restarted) by the
system, but the system has been up for a day now without that happening (and the
transaction was closed a day before the system was shut down).
 
I could kill the workflows (logical delete) and restart them, but if possible I
would like to avoid that.
Does anyone know how to restart these manually or if there is any other
solution?
