Dear acy: Firelord's late answer (su -c 'am start -a android.intent.action.REBOOT') works for me on Android 4.1.2, and seems to me to be the best of the existing answers. If it works for you on Android 4.1.1, or if you're too busy to try it, please click the green checkmark in order to make it float to the top of the answer section.

su -c "reboot" runs the reboot command, which is defined in reboot.c. reboot.c hasn't changed much over the years. It has always called sync() and then rebooted the device. Also, thanks to this commit, modern versions of reboot.c also unmount all filesystems. Android 4.1.1 includes the commit I mentioned, and so I don't see how su -c "reboot" on Android 4.1.1 could ever cause filesystem corruption.
