remote gdb: reboot system(Linux)


I do a lot of Linux remote kernel debugging over serial lines.  I will now
be doing even more of this only the debugger and target system will be at a
remote site.

In a previous life I did a lot of NT kernel debugging with windbg and it had
a command called ".reboot" which if made in windbg would actually cause a
reboot of the target system.  I really need this same capability in gdb when
debugging Linux.  I know that a lot of this functionality was probably
provided in the kernel, but I thought someone might know if this presently
exists or what would be involved with providing it.

thanks for any help or info,
michael
