Reboot master from code

I've searched several times and I can't find the answer.

What code can I use to reboot the master from within the program? I know.. bad idea, etc. , but I need a temporary fix for a problem that's happening at a site 3 hours away.

    reboot(0)

    or

    reboot(0:1:0)

    Check out the Netlinx Studio online help.

    Sent to which device?

    Trying this from "Control a Device' does not work.

    SEND_COMMAND 0:1:1, "'REBOOT (0:1:0)'"

    SEND_COMMAND 0:1:1, "'REBOOT (0:1:1)'"

    SEND_COMMAND 0:1:1, "'REBOOT (0)'"

    No luck with any of them.

    it's a function, not a string to be sent. For example:
    if(snafu)
{
  snafu = 0
  reboot(0:1:0)
}

    Alternatively if you are just using it for some troubleshooting you can telnet/ssh into the box and issue a reboot i]<device number>[/i command.

    Right. But there are some network issues there (another company is in charge of the network there) and when there are problems I can't telnet to the master, only ping works.

    Yes, it's a NI3000 installed at least 3 years ago. Maybe 4 or 5 years old. Why do you ask?
