REBOOT - Reboot the system

 Purpose:    Do a system reboot. 
             
 Format:     REBOOT [/S /V] 
             

             /S(hutdown)                     /V(erify) 
 
 Usage 

 REBOOT will log off or shut down the operating system, or completely 
 restart your computer.  It normally performs a warm reboot, which is 
 comparable to pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.  A reboot is necessary to 
 activate any changes to your CONFIG.SYS file. 

 The following example prompts you to verify the reboot, then does a warm 
 boot: 

 
         [c:\] reboot /v
 

 REBOOT defaults to performing a warm boot, with no prompting. 

 REBOOT flushes the disk buffers, resets the drives, and waits one second 
 before rebooting, to allow disk caching programs to finish writing any 
 cached data.  CMD.EXE issues commands to shut down OS/2 before rebooting. 
 

 REBOOT uses the DOS.SYS device driver to reboot your system.  DOS.SYS is 
 loaded via a DEVICE= statement in your CONFIG.SYS file.  If DOS.SYS is 
 not loaded, REBOOT will not work. 

 Options 

    /S:     (Shutdown) Shut down the system, but do not reboot.  This 
            option is equivalent to clicking the "Shutdown" choice on the 
            Workplace Shell popup menu. 

    /V:     (Verify) Prompt for confirmation (Y or N) before rebooting or 
            taking the action specified by other REBOOT options.
