Overview
The Reboot Module immediately reboots to device when invoked.
Syntax
| reboot (Module) <META> Syntax |
|---|
<META HTTP-Equiv="Reboot" content="[parameter]"> |
| Reboot JavaScript Object Syntax: |
|---|
| By default the JavaScript Object 'reboot' will exist on the current page and can be used to interact directly with the reboot. |
| To Set reboot parameters via JavaScript use the following syntax: reboot.parameter = 'value'; remembering to enclose your value in quotes where appropriate. e.g. reboot.bootType = 'value'; |
| To set multiple EMML parameters / events on a single line use the following syntax: reboot.setEMML("[Your EMML Tags]"); e.g. reboot.setEMML("bootType:value"); |
Parameters
Items listed in this section indicate parameters, or attributes which can be set.
| Name | Possible Values | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| bootType:[Value] | "Warm", "Cold" or "ColdCAD" | Reboots the device using either a Warm or Cold software boot (as specified). Note on CE6 & CE7 devices a 'ColdCAD' boot is required to replicate the Coldboot key sequence, e.g. 1+9+Power on an MC3000. | N/A |
Remarks
Suggested Use
The Reboot tag can be used to apply new settings after downloading files (eg. .REG) or applications from a server.
Windows Mobile
Not all Windows Mobile/CE devices support Cold or ColdCAD features. If a cold boot is attempted on such devices, a warm boot will be performed instead. On WM 5.0 and higher, there is no software difference between a warm and a cold boot as the device uses persistent storage; both the file and registry will remain the same after boot.

| RhoElements Version | 1.0.0 or above |
|---|---|
| Supported Devices | All supported devices. (See Above comment for behavior on Windows Mobile) |
| Minimum Requirements | None. |
