Syntax for using do shell script "sudo restart password"?

[Sk8.4.Life]

I searched around the archives and this was about all I found… I just need help on getting the correct syntax for using sudo restart and supplying my admin password all in the do shell script command. Thanks.

I’ve tried:
“sudo restart password”
“sudo restart | password”
2 lines of do shells with the password on the second
“echo ‘password’ | sudo restart” (taken from above topic)

I don’t know what I’m doing >.< Help!

user name and password are optional; if you omit the user name, do shell script assumes it to be the current user; if you omit the password, it will ask for a password when it runs.
…
Note: Using sudo(8) with with administrator privileges is generally unnecessary and creates security holes; simply remove the “sudo”.

Also, would this work?

tell application "System Events" to restart

Edit: Also (from TN2065):

Q: How do I control an interactive tool like ftp or telnet with do shell script?
A: The short answer is that you don’t. do shell script is designed to start the command and then let it run with no interaction until it completes …
