Reboot server

[Adrian_72]

Hi all;

What is the sintax comand for reboot the N400 server ?

Hi Adrian,

I use "shutdown -r now". Shutdown will execute shutdown scripts in /sbin/init.d so the system will go down cleanly.

Reboot will not do it other than setting the FSCLEAN flag on the filesystems. If I am in a hurry, I use "reboot -qs"

Hi,

/sbin/shutdown [-h|-r] [-y] [-o] [grace]

reboot
# shutdown -r -y now

halt the system
# shutdown -h -y now

Regards,
Robert-Jan

I think it is not the N4000 way to search, but the OS version : 11.0, 11i ?
Under this two, i use :
shutdown -r -y 0

For any parameters, use man 1m shutdown
1m is important, because without, you will see how to shutdown ... a socket !!

/usr/sbin/shutdown -r -y now
Usually don't need full PATH (/usr/sbin should be in the root PATH)

-r says to reboot
-y says 'yes' to the questions for rebooting
now means no grace period, do the reboot now.

Hi,

In addition, if you are planning to reboot with a script, add -y flag as indicated before and make sure you are in / filesystem.

#cd /
#shutdown -r -y now
