     REBOOT(1)                                               REBOOT(1)

     NAME
          reboot - reboot terminal after connection loss

     SYNOPSIS
          o/reboot

     DESCRIPTION
          Reboot polls the file /mnt/registry/index for existence and
          reboots the terminal software (i.e., kills Inferno on hosted
          systems) upon errors. That file comes from the PC and must
          be available as long as the terminal is connected to the PC.

          This can be used by a native program to restart the terminal
          software if the connection to the PC is lost, by waiting and
          trying again to start an Octopus terminal if it dies.
