Code to Restart or Shut Down Your System

There are lots if times when the system needs to be restarted, for example, after changing the autoexec.bat path. Here is code you can use, in the place of writing a jni code, to restart and shutdown Windows operating systems.

Shutdown Windows operating systems:

  Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32.exe user.exe,ExitWindows");
  
And for Restart:
  Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32.exe user.exe,ExitWindowsEx");
