Is there a way to cold start a robot from KRL? Under certain conditions which I can detect programatically I need to restart the robot in order to fix its specific issue and so far I've had to do it manually every time. It would be phenominal if I could just reboot the robot automatically.
Thanks!
Software Reboot?

No KRL command.
For KRC4s, with SafeOperation, there is a remote shutdown signal, but that's pretty specific.

well... it is not something i would do but... if you do want robot to perform reboot, what is the problem? robot outputs are meant for interaction with outside world. one can add contactor to that "outside world" and interrupt power to KRC.
another option is to create program to do the same. Operator can force cold start by drilling down the menu.... User program (not KRL) can do that too. One just need a bit of Windows API insight and Mouse control etc are at your finger tips.

The better choice would be to fix the cause for the issue. I can'believe that there is an issue to fix with a cold boot will be the 'normal' behaviour.

I suppose it is less an issue than a proprietary reason my company would like to restart the robot... thanks for the advice though hermann.
panic mode, we have looked into both of those but for some reason when we shut down the computer (either by cutting power to it or doing a Windows reboot) it defaults to Hibernate instead of a Cold Start. I'm not sure why but the robot will not let us change that default setting; it always says that it fails to change the default settings. We've changed that setting in the config files but still no luck... I'd rather not change restistry keys but short of that nothing has worked so far. -
