PC - Is it possible to reboot automatically? (Through processing tool)

Dear Professionals Hello. nice to meet you.

I want to code on an embedded PC base. As you know, there are many unexpected things.

Therefore, I want to reset the PC every certain time.  ** Is it possible to initialize PC through processing tool?**

Please confirm. Thank you.

It depends on which OS you're running on. For Windows, you might be able to open (open(), or possible exec()) a shortcup that reboots the computer. For Mac, there might be a command line command to do it. I seriously doubt it is possible using P5.js, however.

launch() or exec() -- probably exec.

Your reboot shell script will need to have the privs to run, which could be a serious security risk.

Embedded Windows, or Linux? For Win:

Dear jeremydouglass , Embedded Windows

I tried to proceed through shutdown.bat.

Void setup () {

   Size (1200, 800);
   Launch ("shutdown.bat");
   Println ("ok");
}


Void draw () {
}

Why does not it work?

Gwak

You can not even open .txt files.

It is likely to be solved if we know only functions that can only be programmed.

@Gwak -- very glad you solved it.

In case other embedded Windows users have the same problem, would you share the contents of your shutdown.bat so that they can see your complete solution?

Gwak

@jeremydouglass

launch("c://Users/wee/Desktop/shutdown.bat");

Shutdown.bat is a program that restarts. I did this because it was not processing itself.

jeremydouglass

Right. What are the lines of batch script code inside shutdown.bat?

Gwak

shutdown.exe -r

r means 'windows restart'
