<BR>
In the script that you are using for the re-boot, make sure that you execute “sync” a few times, this will flush out all pending writes to the disk. Many commands have it built in, but it pays to be safe. <BR>
<BR>
A more brute force approach, can be implemented by using Ethernet accessed AC power controller. An outstanding product is available from <a href="http://digital-loggers.com">http://digital-loggers.com</a>. We run a few of them at our site. When everything else fails, this unit gets the job done.<BR>

<BR>
To restart the machine I'd do this :<BR>
XXXXXX = cmd,/path/to/script/restart.sh<BR>
In the restart.sh script, do whatever housekeeping you want, and then reboot.<BR>
<BR>
FWIW... I have the startup macro call a function that uses localplay to have a distinctive sound file play on the air. (In my case the Doctor's TARDIS landing) <BR>
I've had Asterisk crash/restart if there's a problem at the site.<BR>
Hearing the sound notifies me it restarted for some reason. <BR>
If you use the COP,1 it would give you a confirmation that it did in fact restart.<BR>
