[APP] EasyBoot

I created this small app (Im no developer :P) to execute options like
1)Reboot
2)Recovery
3)Bootloader
4)Power off
It also includes a special option known as hot reboot which only restarts the android GUI shell which reduces the reboot time by half.Excellent option for task killing.
But it should be used less frequently.
Requirements:
Android 2.2+
Root
Busybox
