    If you want to reboot then you have to ask the operating system to do it. Without knowing your operating system this is difficult. On windows check out winapi functions ExitWindowsEx() and InitiateSytemShutdown().
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi

    Code:
    std::cout << "Please press the CTRL+ALT+DEL" << std::endl;
    
    // or the platform independant
    
    std::cout << "Please press the 'reset' button on your computer." << std::endl;
