Each method for shrinking TEMPDB has its own requirements - see here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307487 The first two methods described here may require you to restart the server.

If your tempdb gets full routinely after shrinking it, that just means that your databases require a lot of space in the tempdb. It could be due to a number of reasons RCSI, large sorts etc. This page gives you some guidance: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176029(v=sql.105).aspx

Monitoring the TempDB is critical to discover processes which may lead to TempDB filling. Based on discovery you can take appropriate actions. Use these DMVs to monotor space usage http://www.sqlserver-dba.com/2013/03/monitor-sql-server-tempdb-usage.html
