Restart Mac OS X ungracefully using a C++ call?
问题 How do I restart Mac OS X using C++ ( not Objetive-C ) without invoking any child processes? Don't care if it's ungraceful . system("reboot"); //Is not acceptable as it relies on invoking a process 回答1: I can't think why you wouldn't want to create a new process, but if you really don't want to, then execve("reboot",0,0) will run reboot , replacing the current process. You'll need to include <unistd.h> . I'm assuming this is available on Mac OS; it should be on all POSIX platforms. UPDATE It
