Like the Note said:
some of you may notice that a reboot entry is already defined in systemui.xml. However, osso-powerup-shutdown performs a shutdown which kill all apps suddenly. Rebooting with sudo reboot will gently shutdown all software and sync your filesystem, which is safer. Lets just say that there was probably a reason that the default entry was commented out.

BTW: The source is here * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
Part 1
Part 2
both posted by good old qwerty12

Or the summary by MohammadAG

Code:

sudo gainroot

echo "user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot" > /etc/sudoers.d/reboot.sudoers

update-sudoers

nano /usr/share/dbus-1/services/reboot.service

# Paste this into it:

[D-BUS Service]

Name=com.misc.reboot

Exec=/usr/bin/sudo reboot

# CTRL + O to save, CTRL+X to quit nano

nano /etc/systemui/systemui.xml

# Paste this into it:

<menuitem priority="750" name="Reboot">

<icon>general_refresh</icon>

<callback service="com.misc.reboot" path="/com/misc/reboot" interface="com.misc.reboot" method="reboot" bus="session" autostart="true">

<argument type="boolean">true</argument>

</callback>

</menuitem>

# CTRL + O to save, CTRL+X to quit nano

killall systemui

Cheers,
