1. restarting Windows from Eu
Hi all,
I've been trying to figure out how to force windows to restart from a
Euphoria program. I know that the command to do so is:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 2
However, I can't get it to work using shellExecute() in win32lib
(absolutely nothinhg happens), and if I try to use system_exec() then it
refuses because it is running in a console window, and wants that to be
closed before Windows will restart. Any suggestions?

Actually, my first Euphoria program involved restarting windows. It was
able to reboot
using two different times of the day. I'll paste snippits of the lines I
needed to get
it done.
atom User32, Reboot_code, Dummy_code
integer zRebooter
Reboot_code = 2
Dummy_code = 0
User32 = open_dll("user32.dll")
zRebooter = linkProc(User32, "ExitWindowsEx", {C_LONG, C_LONG})
c_proc(zRebooter, {Reboot_code, Dummy_code})
That should be it. If someone else knows a better way, please tell! =)
Btw, it will not reboot a windows NT machine since it involves setting a
priviledge I
haven't the foggiest about implementing yet.

Excellent. Works like a charm on Win9x. Also, ExitWindowsEx is actually a
function. Try changing the code to this:
atom User32, Reboot_code, Dummy_code
integer zRebooter
Reboot_code = 2
Dummy_code = 0
User32 = open_dll("user32.dll")
zRebooter = linkFunc(User32, "ExitWindowsEx", {C_LONG, C_LONG},C_LONG)
if not c_proc(zRebooter, {Reboot_code, Dummy_code}) then
puts(1,"REBOOT FAILED!)
