Re: Completely Power Off Your Device After a Few Reboots!
 
This is strange... and here's why I say that:

I've NEVER done a sudo reboot from terminal. As far as I know, my n900 never rebooted itself like some users hare are experiencing. Yet, my count is up to 3.

As far as I can tell, just people having random reboots or people like me who would type "sudo reboot" or whatever to reboot. But "normal" users with stable hardware shouldn't see this bug. AFAICT....

Three being one, since each reboot counts as three in this bug for some reason. So your system may just have one "reboot" due to a fsck of your homedir or root or something. That would be normal OK behaviour.

So Jeff, would a sudo gainroot followed by a reboot command count in this case, because I use that every time I get done using a wi-fi connection?

I believe that would increment your counter by 3 each time, and thus is dangerous to do 17 times ;)

Run this to check before `reboot`:
Code:
cat /var/lib/dsme/boot_count
If that hits 50, game over next reboot.
