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.

Subject: 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?
