See how it’s done in the Admin:

lucee/Lucee/blob/master/core/src/main/cfml/context/admin/restart.cfm

<!--- create no output here!!! --->
<cfsetting showdebugoutput="false">
<cftry>
	<cfadmin 
		action="restart"
		type="#url.adminType#"
		password="#session["password"&url.adminType]#">
		<!---remoteClients="#request.getRemoteClients()#"--->
	<cfcatch>
		<cfdump var="#cfcatch#">
	</cfcatch>
</cftry>

thank you for this info.

I did run this code successfully. But not sure if it actually restarted the server. Running a cfthread, and when this code executed it does not terminate the thread. Whereas if I do a ./shutdown.sh and a ./startup.sh it would kill it.

this what I came up with to reboot the whole server. It can apply it to other scripts as well. If you know why cfadmin doesn’t kill existing threads I’d like to know why.

// dev on osx 
runtime = CreateObject( "java", "java.lang.Runtime", ExpandPath( "." ) );
process_runtime = runtime.getRuntime();
command = "sudo -S <<< 'YOURPASSWORD' shutdown -r now";
process_exec = process_runtime.exec( javacast( "string[]", ["/bin/bash", "-c", command ]) );
