I am trying to display the standard Restart dialog from within a

getting the workstation to reboot using:
osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" to restart"

but have
not been able to find a way to display said dialog. Has anyone had any
success getting the dialog to appear from within a shell script?
The preferred way of "enforcing" restarts after a package install is
to set an appropriate post-install action in PackageMaker. Is the
IFPkgFlagRestartAction key not respected in Jaguar? This document
[1] seems to suggest that it is, though I could find no definitive
evidence.
