But this is intended as a way to reboot the computer (don't laugh now) and not as 'magix fix just in case'.

The challenge is backtracked and dismissed as trivial. You can't win :-(

The obvious, trivial answer to the original question (interpreting the '3rd party application' very liberally) is "Well, duh, any proprietary UNIX(*)-kernel ever provided by some hardware vendor" but that wasn't what had been asked for.

Anyway I'm bored of reboots now. Next time I reboot a box I promise to do a full analysis of all the source code of every application (after reverse-compiling of course) and I'll make sure it's all as clean as a whistle. |
