well you could crash the sim... which should result in a restart...
but no, no direct way via LSL.
...and I'm not about to teach anyone ways to crash a sim.

Crashing doesn't always automatically result in restarting. <.< All depends on how it gets crashed.  |

Do private sim owners have any automated sim restart software? A bot or third party viewer?

If it was possible to restart from the second life website then something would have been scriptable with some web progamming magic.
A bot could do it with the "Region Restart" button.

<.<
>.> Fortunately, I don't think that a sim crash will usually take out the others running on the same server, but different CPUs. That is, unless it causes a shared resource contention issue, like out of memory, massive I/O requests, etc. Most sim crashers tended to overload the physics engine (easy target), or cause some kind of grey goo rez death, which I am not sure would affect the others, at least to the point of crashing. I saw a couple that did so via massive script allocation. If it ran the server out of memory, it might have caused other sims to crash. |

I discovered a way to crash a sim once. Even jumped around to various mainland sims (that were empty) and tested it a few times to be sure, and sure enough, it was definitely crashing the sim. I took the info to Andrew and Simon Linden at an office hour meeting, and gee, mention that you found a way to crash a sim is a sure fire way to get attention! Simon pulled up a test grid and tried it out, and crashed a sim on a test grid right there in the office hour confirming it. They jumped on it and it was fixed on the next update though. I don't particularly look for ways to crash a sim, but if one is found, it's one thing that gets top priority I'm pretty sure that with estate privs, you can set a daily reboot time, can't remember (and I have estate privs in a sim too...lol). Also, there used to be a sim called 'Crash Me' which has since been renamed to 'Don't Crash me', and the Crash Me sim now lives on the beta grid. It's there for people to go and do their best to find bugs that crash sims. Oh, and now I know... When Void's not counting cpu ticks, she's looking for devious ways to crash sims...  |

From: Johan Laurasia Oh, and now I know... When Void's not counting cpu ticks, she's looking for devious ways to crash sims... no, but I seem to find them.... who knew a simple loop could do so much damage (they fixed that one though)
