We could introduce similar option like "rebootCmd:special", where
psshutdown is used for reboot (from config.xml:
Setting rebootCmd to "special" will use tools\psshutdown.exe from
* from www.sysinternals.com - if it exists
).
So we can have predefined options for e.g. wget or curl in wpkg.js,
while preserving the possibility to use another tool.
Best regards,
Falko
