Unelegant and obvious:

	# sleep 10 ; shutdown -r now

If you need this to happen automatically, use /etc/rc.local,
and maybe put the whole command into background using (...)&.
Beware - endless loop! You need to be fast enough to revert
the change or go to SUM to do so. :-)

Parameters to shutdown itself, as well as for the "at" command,
only allow minutes as most precise elements; see "man shutdown"
and "man at" for details.
