Rebooting a linux server

December 29th, 2009 by EZ linux · No Comments

The best way is:

shutdown -r now

This will tell the server to take it’s time so to speak and reboot when it’s ready.

For a hard reboot simply put:

reboot

In most cases a hard reboot is fine unless you have file errors and the servers needs to clean them up before a reboot.
