RE: [DUG]: Rebooting a computer in Pascal

[David O'Brien]

From Memory, Exec(FilePath, CommandLine) to run another program.

 

In DOS, rebooting was a matter of setting a specific processor register to a certain value, sorry I can't remember exactly how. Possibly look in a 80386 programming book?

HI all.....this is not really a DELPHI question but rather T/Pascal question.....which in light of the recent Linux discussions in not really off-topic....hehehehe

 

What I was wondering is,  how do you execute anotehr app. from wihting T/Pascal, and how do you reboot a computer within T/Pascal ?

 

Can anyone help ?
