I've not been able to find anything within processing to help me with this, I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on the problem.

 

I am using an arduino as an interface board to monitor many equipment alarm states, which are then fed to a display via processing. The PC communicates continually with the arduino via a serial port and USB port. I need processing to reboot the PC and consequently the entire alarm system should it not receive any data from the arduino after a preset period of time. Is there any code that can be used to reset the PC in this instance?

 

Many thanks.
