REBOOT

Command

RE[BOOT] -- Reboot machine (Obsolete).

Synopsis

REBOOT

Availability

This command was implemented on DOS XRouter, but is not available in XRPi!!!

Description (obsolete)

Reboots the machine immediately and ungracefully.

It is typically used by remote sysops to restart the machine after editing autoexec.bat/config.sys, installing a new version of the software, or to recover from potentially dangerous situations such as a corrupt hard drive.

Console sysops can use the "Vulcan Nerve Pinch" (Ctrl-alt-del) or interrupt the power instead.

Note (obsolete)

Remote sysops should only use this command if the router program has been started from AUTOEXEC.BAT, otherwise it won't restart.

It is recommended that you include an automatic disk check and repair utility within AUTOEXEC.BAT to remove any problems which resulted in the REBOOT command being used.
