@dandiesel
Thanks for the offer, but I have temporarily hit a creativity block
Maybe once you are done with the swirly thing you want, I could have a look at it
@!!Nokia N900!!
I see you have been suggested to add a reboot button in the menu, but guess you are not interested in it.
If you insist on a widget a simpler command may suffice
Title:Reboot
(Use either one of the commands,whichever works for you)
Command:sudo reboot
OR
Command:rootsh reboot

Even by default these options are disabled so you can't even blame the authorAs for your problem, you can get out of it but you have to be very quick.
- Boot your N900
- As soon as you see the desktop (if need be switch to the desktop you put widget on), enter the settings mode.
- Now hopefully you remember the position you put your widget on because you will only be able to see the wrench(settings) and close icon for now(since they haven't loaded).The images load after the command has completed,by then it would be too late 'cause your device will reboot.
- Now quickly hit the close icon to remove the reboot widget.
- In all probability the device will once again reboot,but don't worry this would be the last time(If you managed to hit close and remove it)
- Now when your N900 boots the reboot widget won't be there so it can't automatically run the command causing endless reboot.
- Don't try to add another QBW widget because the reboot one will be the first to come on desktop causing the cycle all over again.How to get out of this I will tell you later,first you need to complete the above steps.

once the reboot problem occurred, i was trying to do same as u posted, but seems my reboot was even faster than yours.. that could catch it.
anyway, i did re-flashing, restoring everything and i UNINSTALLED the QBW....i don't wanted any more..heheheh
and whenever i want to reboot, i will go to X-terminal and type there. Better..
Thnx for the steps dear

It's one of the reasons that I recommended the power menu option It's much safer and easier to use and can be accessed where ever you are in the phone.

You can find out how I did it in this old post.

HAHAH.. sometthing like that happened to me too
Once i was creating an icon for the hard sleep- turn off disp/2g/disconnect connections.
I forgot to uncheck the default options for updation (sum ol version of QBW) and my phone got into a loop of hard sleep :P it was very frustrating as it would turn off the screen one me over n over
Yeah was stupid of me but I got past it.
