RM_APP_TYPE Specifies the type of application that is described by the RM_PROCESS_INFO structure.
RM_FILTER_ACTION Specifies the type of modification that is applied to restart or shutdown actions.
RM_FILTER_TRIGGER Describes the restart or shutdown actions for an application or service.
RM_REBOOT_REASON Describes the reasons a restart of the system is needed.

RmRestart Restarts applications and services that have been shut down by the RmShutdown function and that have been registered to be restarted using the RegisterApplicationRestart function.
RmShutdown Initiates the shutdown of applications.
RmStartSession Starts a new Restart Manager session.
