Restart and shutdown APIs for lazarus on Linux

[vini7]

Hi
I am using UDP communication in my application.If program loses the communication with both control server and I/O server more that 1 day,then program will automatically reboot the system or application reboot the system if memory load goes above 65%.

For these reasons I want to use APIs for reboot the system or shutdwn the system So what shld I use in lazarus on Linux to accompolish these fetures.

Please help

Thanks & Regards

Linux is not Windows 95! There's no need to do this imho.
If your program has memory-leaks then try to fix them.

Can you tell me why this is required on Windows?
I can't see why a lost network connection is a reason to reboot the system.
Why do you think the reboot fixes any network problem?

Imho, an application should never reboot the system, except windows installers perhaps, but only after asking the user.

Regarding the memory load: Try to remove memleaks from you app,
or restart the application not the system.

Windows 95 leaked itself, no need for apps.. that was the point, linux doesn't leak memory itself.

If your programs leaks memory then you should fix it. Compile it with -ghl, run let it run for a minute or so and then stop it normally. You should see a rather long output of where the leaks originate.
