Is it possible to remotely restart versus reboot? On a multi user machine running 10.2.8 I cannot make it restart into the user account set to Auto Login using 'sudo reboot'. Of course it works fine when I issue the Restart command within OS X's Finder when I'm at the machine.
thnx

Why not just use AppleScript to tell the Finder to reboot?
I don't remember the exact code, but I think it'd be something like
sudo osascript "Tell application "Finder" restart"
Or just save the script as an application, and then:
open /path/to/the/script
The script would be really simple:
Tell application "Finder"
Restart
End tell

What's the difference between restart and reboot? Does a restart involve temporarily turning off all components and a reboot only wipe memory and run the boot process again?

Restart from the Finder asks all processes to quit. If any process fails to quit (for example if it has put up a Save/Don't Save dialog), then the shutdown process will be cancelled. If all processes quit, then the user is logged out, and the OS shuts down.
Reboot from the command line skips right to the OS shutdown procedures. I'm don't think it even attempts to kill processes first, so no files will be saved, and data loss is possible. However, this will force a restart even if crashed processes prevent a proper shutdown procedure, and it is quite preferable to a brute-force restart by killing power to the machine.
