You can also reboot by the sip device name (that you specified in sip.conf):

sip notify polycom-check-cfg <sip-device-name>

Note that you have to have a valid "sip_notify.conf" file.  The
default file from "make samples" has everything you need.

One caveat:  In the Polycom sip.cfg file, there is a setting:

<specialEvent ... voIpProt.SIP.specialEvent.checkSync.alwaysReboot="1"/>

By default it is set to '0', which means the phone will only reboot on
a "sip notify" if the configuration files have changed.  I change this
to '1' so it will always reboot if I issue a "sip notify" command.
