Restart system

**jhammond** · November 16th, 2008, 05:49 AM

I'm using boxee on Applet TV and its working great. Is there any way to add a restart option that will actually restart the entire applet tv unit from boxee.

I'm just thinking of features that would be helpful to my family members who are less technical.

thanks.

So I guess I could automate this..

hold down menu button for 30 seconds.
tell son to pull power..

sweet thanks for the suggestion.

I almost always have a laptop handy; I ssh in and 'sudo reboot' to restart the AppleTV.

However, there's a "scripts" hack which enables general scripts to be run from the FrontRow menu (outside Boxee), which includes a "reboot" script right out of the gate: http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/IScripts

The "Reboot" script there works for me.
