When deploying a new build of a FPM to an ilon from the development tools, the fpm on the ilon is automatically unloaded and reloaded to bring the newly compiled app into effect. This does not happen when manually updating the complied program via ftp.

How can I achieve this same functionality from within my FPM code? Or, even reboot the system if I can't do that? My reason for asking is I have a FPM which can auto update itself remotely, but the new code does not come into effect until the device is rebooted.

 Any help on reloading or rebooting would be great.

 EDIT: To half answer my own question, rebootLib.h and  sysLib.h provide functions for rebooting, but I still haven't found a way to simply reload a module

Jason,

Unfortunately, the FPM API currently does not have anything that lets you programmatically reload an FPM.

Thanks for the info Jonathan, that's unfortunate. Can you provide any insight into how the Programming tools achieves the same effect without rebooting? Looking at the ilon console output, while deploying from the Eclipse SDK the FPM seems to be unloaded and loaded again. Is this something uniquely available to the IDE, or a SOAP call, or console command? I can't seem to replicate it myself.

It should be using a SOAP call.  You could try a tool like Charles to isolate the messages.
