I think that will depend if you guys have modified your sudoers file for something else previously.

Normally I don't think running sudo "command" on the N900 will work even with rootsh..

Rootsh allows you to run "sudo gainroot" to get root, then the command. Sudo <commands> still ask for a password (in my understanding.)

So what you would want normally I think would be something like:

Code:
echo /sbin/reboot | sudo gainroot
and depend your app on rootsh.. although I don't think depending on rootsh is a good idea.

There must be some kind of API in dbus or somewhere to tell the device to reboot properly instead of running shell commands.
