#2 Shutdown command interface

[Anonymous]

How about a restart behavior from a specific weapon?

For instance, rather than killing httpd I just want to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart.

Why not add a switch object that maps to the
/sbin/shutdown -r now or some equivalent command?

Both of these features are mentioned in the TODO file:

--type of weapon determines what signal to send with the
kill command
on monster death (eg. pistol=kill -1, shotgun=kill -2, ...
plasma &
BFG=kill -9 ???)
NOTE: rocket launcher probably not a good choice because
of collateral
damage (maybe protect pid monsters?)

--shutdown/reboot machine with psdoom*.wad level exit switch(s)
NOTE: need to make a custom texture to notify user of this
interface

However, if I ever get around to working on psDooM again,
I'll put those a bit higher on the priority list.
