Restart quickly via fast user switching
Authored by: Teshel on Mar 12, '04 04:07:35PM
You can do the same thing by opening a terminal session (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and typing:
          sudo reboot now
Then enter your password. This will -- as others have pointed out -- simply terminate any open applications. It is a very fast way to reboot, though.

No "now" switch for reboot

I think you are getting reboot confused with the shutdown utility:
shutdown -r now
For the reboot utility, it is simply:
sudo reboot
(no now switch is necessary)
