wineboot performs actions that would normally be done during startup and shutdown on a Windows system (eg. RunOnce and wininit.ini). For example, some installation process delays file operations until the computer is "restarted."
Additionally wineboot will automatically update the WINEPREFIX directory if wine.inf changes (eg as a result of upgrading to a new Wine release).
Note: Some applications use system calls to restart the computer. Under wine, they end up calling wineboot.
