You can use the Shell Command.

Or see LC dictionary

I'm not sure I understand the question, Googie.
It would be nice to know which OS your using as well, but what do you see when you open the CLI and type in "shutdown /r" ?

I assumed it is a windows OS because shutdown /r is a typical Windows console command for restarting your PC.
And being on the LiveCode forum I also assumed it needed to be done within a LC Stack.

My initial thoughts as well Paul, however, shutdown works across all 3 desktop OS'es, so it would be nice to know which is being worked with for testing, since the various D'OS'es can vary in how shell works.
I've made an ........... of myself plenty, I wouldn't sweat it too much heh heh.
*Edit - since we're in the 'Windows' section, I think I just did again hahah.

As Paul already mentioned, use SHELL:
Code: Select all
...
put shell("shutdown /r") into tDummy
