I have code

system("reboot")

The reboot command works in the terminal, but even if I run the app as root, the operation is still denied. Has anyone found any way that works, or can explain a bit about SBSetting's reboot, which makes me curious?

I have finally found a way to programmatically restart an iOS device without rooting a device!!!! The command line tool to restart an iOS device is called libimobiledevice:

http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/use-libimobiledevice-to-view-ios-logs/

It is truly amazing. One snag I ran into while installing was trying to install this line:

brew install -v --devel --fresh automake autoconf libtool wget libimobiledevice

However I got around the install problem by running this line:

brew install -v --fresh automake autoconf libtool wget libimobiledevice

After that problem, I followed the rest of the instructions and voila!

Most of the commands can be found on this page: http://krypted.com/uncategorized/command-line-ios-device-management/

The magic command that restarts the iOS device is:

idevicediagnostics restart

What is truly amazing about this tool is not only restarting an iOS device but also outputting iOS device logs to mac's terminal app using the following command:

idevicesyslog
