The question is why you need to reboot the device?

[symbianyucca]

tell the user to remove battery and to press start button after putting the battery back.

Pulling out the battery is generally a bad idea in that it can corrupt various things including the contacts database. I'm not saying it should not happen, its just one of the less predicatble solutions, especially when there are API's to reboot the phone under partnering requests.

The problem is finding suitable use cases

Hi,

I suppose you need to create your own watch dog kind of application who kill your application and launch it again.

Your long running one? You can simply start a process, which waits for your main app to shut down, and restart it. It needs simple synchronization, RProcess::Rendezvous and RProcess::Logon can do the job:
- main app: newprocess.Create, pass RProcess::Id() (so itself) as command-line argument, newprocess.Rendezvous, newprocess.Resume, waits for rendezvous, termintes
- new app: gets argument, mainprocess.Open, mainprocess.Logon, RProcess::Rendezvous, waits for the other process to die, and restarts it.

Unfortunately it is still possible that some server dies (like c32exe.exe in your emulator log), and that can not be cured via restarting your own process...
