- How you do this (or _if_ you can) depends on your operating system, so you
- should ask this in a group dedicated to that operating system. The C language
- itself has no support for this sort of operation.
-
- If you are using MS-DOS, ask in comp.os.msdos.programmer, but first have a look
- by anonymous ftp at rtfm.mit.edu for that group's FAQ, which probably covers
- this topic. (Although I don't know _why_ you would want to do this - the last
- thing I want _any_ program to do is to reboot the machine...)
