Use of a Custom Reboot Program

The Common Application Framework (CAF) usually forwards system reboot requests to the operating system to perform the actual reboot. It is possible to use a custom reboot program, which is able to take special requirements into consideration.

To enable and to configure the use of a custom system reboot program, the following configuration policy settings are available in the ...DSM/common/caf/general configuration policy group:

CAF: Reboot command

Specifies the name of the custom reboot program to use instead of the operating system API. If no reboot program is specified, the operating system API is used.

CAF Dialog: Enable dialog

Specifies whether a countdown dialog is displayed (value = True) or an immediate reboot without countdown dialog takes place (value = False). This is useful on specialized hardware which may not allow user interaction with a dialog.
