I'm trying to find a way to "bounce" my N900.

I've quite often hit the power key during shut-down or worse yet during power-up when the screen's blank. The whole "waiting for shut-down to finish so I can start again" drill can waste as much time as the re-boot itself. I'm looking for a more efficient, fast way to re-boot.

Way back in the day on AIX, I'd type "shutdown -r" to re-boot.

Is there a "reboot" command/key/widget available?


Thanks in advance

Simply create an alias from the CL for it.

alias reboot='reboot -n'

You'd still have to remember to be root though

What does the -n do ?
I always just sudo reboot...

just type:
sudo reboot -f (to quickly reboot the device).

or

Sudo reboot

Done!

The -n stands for "now" as normally there will be a timer used as a parameter.
