Yes, it worked for me too. But not only by pinging a host. You can use
'netstat' too. I think can be used any application that don't handle the
<F7> and <ENTER> keys. The reboot occurres when application finished and
Windows tries to reopen it, according to the cmd window's input buffer
(F7 opens an history menu then ENTER executes the last command).
