I want to use command line to restart my mac OSX, I'm using:
sudo shutdown -r now
But i want to restart without the reopen windows option, I've looked at the documentation here but with no luck, Any idea?

There's an excellent QA on Ask Different - but I don't see a 'no reopen' solution - apple.stackexchange.com/questions/103571/… – Tetsujin May 31 '15 at 10:18

@Tetsujin I've overviewed it before posting and as you said couldn't find the option. – Kobi K May 31 '15 at 10:28

Here's a script that will disable the feature completely on a constant basis, regardless of whether that checkbox to preserve windows is checked or not, the windows will not restore.
#!/bin/bash
echo "#!/bin/bash" > /tmp/loginfix.sh
echo "rm /Users/*/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.loginwindow.*" >> /tmp/loginfix.sh
mv /tmp/loginfix.sh /usr/bin/loginfix.sh
chmod +x /usr/bin/loginfix.sh
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /usr/bin/loginfix.sh
To restore default behavior:
sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
