[cisco-voip] MeetingPlance Remote Reboot with MPXADMIN

[Anthony Holloway]

How necessary is it to "su -" so that the PATH and the home directory
changes?  I have been doing this out of habit, and have not tested without
it.  Therefore, I don't know.

Also, an "mpx_sys -v restart" will restart MPX without taking the server
down.  It saves some time.  If you are familiar with UCCX, that's like
restarting the node manager.
