I tried it out when I had the RC29 and it was kind of weird and somewhat convenient to do it. But I realized to restart my phone I just had to hold the end key and turn on and off anyway. I decided to look into it more to see what other commands would effect the phone.

I didn't feel like removing my battery if I accidentally type in another command. Thanks Google.

Can someone with a "jailbroken" phone PLEASE do a "ps auxwww" or "ps auxwwwf" and paste the results here?
