Your icon says that you are using Ubuntu Linux, so you should use
Code:
sudo reboot
or
Code:
sudo shutdown -r now
In both cases you have to adjust your sudoers-file to allow the command without giving a password, if you want to run this in a script. You can do this with the command
Code:
sudo visudo
For more infos look at:
Code:
man reboot
man shutdown
man sudo

As "root":
Code:
reboot -i

From a script you should use the full path to the command:

To find the full path do:

Code:
# which reboot

/sbin/reboot

Then edit your script with the full path.

Code:
/sbin/reboot

you can create a desktop icon to do that
--- for Gnome---
r-click the desktop
and select " create launcher"
and use " reboot" ( without the "") as the command
