This is a much needed add on. I had an program on my touch pro 2 to do soft resets which was a life saver cause on the touch pro 2 you have to remove the battery cover to do so. And winmo phone is proned to needing soft resets alot

In my n810, I wrote script restart.sh and created a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon and linked them with Exec=/location/of/restart.sh. Icon appears in the menu and when clicked does the job for me. However, I'm not sure in n900 as it doesn't have menu like in n810.

Edit /etc/systemui/systemui.xml and remove the "<!--" and "-->" lines. Reboot, and you'll get a reboot option there (along with some others).

Damn, I needed an excuse to write a program and get me learning to code, now that is gone.
Oh well, now to look for something else.
Thanks through.

Warning: rebooting your device 17 times without shutting it down cleanly may cause it to brick!

Does the problem of rebooting your N900 17 times without shutting it down still make it a brick?
I wanted to add the reboot button to the dropdown menu, but now I don't know if it its safe.
Any ideas?

I am not at all versed in coding (well not since some java back in High School, which is not supported anyway), but I am going to try to make this in python if I can over the next few weeks (I am sure someone who knows how to develop could do it in a couple hours). The coding should be very simple, just getting the actual SDK to do what I am looking for will likely be more of an issue.
Any tips would be appreciated.
