Has this been added to the most recent build version 5.8.26, or is it just in the testing zip that is provided here?

It tried it now and it's working.

i just replaced

Code: Select all

infobox = shutdown
with

Code: Select all

infobox = reboot
We don't use

Code: Select all

application=reboot
since it won't work in combination with chrome.

Thank you very much!

Just be aware that currently when using a RPi 3+ and booting from network (NO SD), cold restarts or menu based restart commands reset it ok but it then never boots, TFTP fails and strange timeouts occur. A hard reset is required to resume.

Not sure if this is a firmware limitation on the B+, the original RPi 3 Model B never had this issue.

Any updates on this "request"? Any ETA?

Yes that would be great, make it the same as shutdown

With current version such config should work:

connection
server=192.169.1.1
connection
application=shutdown

It adds "shutdown" to menu.

If we make reboot in the same way as shutdown, will it be ok for you?

Is there an option to add a restart item in the menu. Using the turnoffmenu=on, this adds a Turn OFF the computer menu option, but it would be nice to allow the user to restart as well. Essentially, if I make a change to the config file for a particular unit, it needs to be restarted for those changes to take affect. Yes I can do it remotely, but if a user is in the middle of something, it would be beneficial for me to call them up and tell them to restart when they are finished doing whatever they are doing so that the updated config gets pushed to their computer.
