What is the equivalent of the "/sbin/autoboot" command from for ppc64 Macintosh

(system maintenance unit?), which has a different command interface. As a consequence, when I execute “/sbin/autoboot -v on” on my G5, I get “Automatic boot status unchanged”. Is there any way to replicate the “autoboot” functionality on a powerpc64 Mac? Thanks! Rick
