"reboot -f" will not shutdown the system cleanly: it is the equivalent of using "kill -9" to stop everything.

It's not a recommended procedure: it's more like an emergency procedure for situations like a) when you *know* all the important processes have already been shut down and you need the system down ASAP, or b) when you've booted using a special boot option like "init=/bin/bash" to fix system start-up problems and you know the normal shutdown procedure won't work in that state.

When you run "shutdown -r now" or "reboot", the system will run all the /etc/rc6.d/K* scripts in alphanumerical order. Typically each script will output a message (to the system console), telling you what it is shutting down. Look at the messages to identify which script is taking a lot of time, or getting stuck in an infinite loop.

root@client# ssh server /sbin/shutdown -ry now

Assuming client is trusted (ssh keys) by server.
