Hello, so I need to execute a command

sudo reboot

in my rules file so here is what I’m working with

rule "raspi reboot"
when 
Item raspirr received update
then
//Right here i need to execute "sudo reboot"
end

Any help will be highly appreciated. :slight_smile:

Would the EXEC binding work here?

Could you give me a detailed guide how to use it? I’m new with the Exec Binding
And I would rather prefer doing it in the rules something like executeCommandLine(“sudo reboot”)

So have you actually tried doing that?
