Possible To Use Tasker To Run An App That Comes Up With Prompt Of Options And Reboot Phone?

I have not downloaded Tasker so bare with me. I want to know before i buy 
it if i can run an app for example Force-Stop it! which comes up with a 
prompt of 3 options. Once that completes to reboot the phone all while 
launching tasker with a single icon press and not being prompted by tasker 
to run? 
I'm looking to kill all backround apps, reboot the phone and have it all 
launched by a profile manager that has the ability to launch an app and 
nothing more, the profile manager can't respond if tasker brings up a 
prompt.
Thanks

Yes, Tasker can lunch apps

You will need root to reboot. There is a plug in called 'secure settings'
that claims a 'clean reboot' However I have heard (not sure) that with the
latest android version a clean reboot is no possible.

Not sure what you that means?
launched by a profile manager that has the ability to launch an app and
nothing more, the profile manager can't respond if tasker brings up a
prompt.
That is not clear to me?

Let me clarify,
I'm aware tasker can launch apps, but can it handle apps which prompt the
user to select an option from a menu after it launches.
For example app x is launched and it brings up a menu with a,b,c. The
question was can Tasker launch app x and select option b all by itself
without any user interaction?
The second issue, I'm using a profile app which has the ability to launch
apps. I want it to launch tasker and without any user interaction to
automatically run the task above bc the profile app can only launch apps
beyond that it does nothing more.
Hope that clarifies the questions.
Thanks

Ah, much better.

Yes, if you are rooted tasker can emulate screen taps. If not rooted you
can purchase a plug in 'auto input' that can emulate screen taps without
root.
apps. I want it to launch tasker and without any user interaction to

I suspect once you see how versatile tasker is you will no longer need the
profile app. It should be able to easily replace the profile app giving you
many more options.
A direct answer would be yes. While I do not believe there is a direct way
unless your profile app is set up as a tasker plug in, you can make a stand
alone app with tasker.  This will be a tasker task that is made into a app
and installed on your device so your profile app can launch that.
It will require some time to learn how to use tasker, however there are
many helpful videos (menu/info / guides from within the tasker UI is one)
and you will not regret the effort.

There is a limited time ( 7 days I think) trial version as well.

I downloaded the app and there are a lot of options with a long learning
curve.
Rich I'm hoping i can get some quick input and feed on what I'm trying to
do.
1. I created a new task, have selected the option to launch app which
works, but after that I'm not sure how i can have Tasker select one of the
options the app prompts the user to select. I tried mouse input but that is
not it. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

You need the action / code /run shell
Command: input tap x y
You will find plenty of info on this with a search.
There is usually a option in your android developer settings to get the
screen tap locations. Or a free app 'touch test'
