My device is a rooted one.

I know that for rebooting device we use shell command "su -c reboot". In some other posts I see people posting shutdown command as "su -c shutdown", but this does not work and also there is a permission called ACTION_SHUTDOWN but those permissions are used for system applications.

Is there any command which shut downs the device?

/**

public static native void shutdown();

try using: 

su reboot -p.

This works on some devices however it does not shutdown cleanly.

  • I was actually trying to execute "su rebbot -p" . It did not work for me, but when I execute the commands seperately as ( su , reboot -p) in different processes then it worked – user1810931 Mar 07 '13 at 15:56
