Reply:frankly, I dont know if there is a uniform way of doing this.


but I can suggest a quick and dirty hack to do this





use something like


system("shutdown -r") on windows/linux etc.





These will invoke the native OS calls to do what you want. Its also really ugly. I am hoping someone else gives you a better way to solve this problem!

1. Call the "shutdown.exe" (with params "/r" if you are on windows)





2. Send the system the appropriate termination signal
