 The safest way is to call an AGI script (or System command or whatever)
 from the dial plan that uses some IPC mechanism to pass a message to an
 outside cron job that runs periodically and checks for this flag, and if
 so, restarts asterisk from the CLI ('asterisk -r -x 'stop now'; sleep
 10; asterisk).

 The sleep is desirable because the 'stop now' command is asynchronous
 and Asterisk does not necessarily shut down instantaneously when you
 issue it.

The way I read the OP, he wishes to reboot the box, not just restart
asterisk.  In which case, simply having
exten=777,1,Authenticate(whatever)
exten=777,n,System(reboot)

Would be the easiest and somewhat protected way of rebooting.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

If asterisk is not running as root allow asterisk user to reboot adding to /etc/sudoers for example and...

exten=777,n,system(sudo reboot)
