Linux Command To Shutdown HP/IBM/Sun/Dell Server System

To shutdown a server system on a Linux system, you can use the shutdown command. The shutdown command is a utility that is used to shut down or reboot the system, and it can be run from the command line or from a script.

Here's an example of how to use the shutdown command to shut down a server system:

$ sudo shutdown -h now

This will shut down the system immediately, and all processes will be terminated. The -h option tells shutdown to halt the system, and the now argument specifies that the shutdown should happen immediately.

Alternatively, you can use the reboot command to reboot the system:

$ sudo reboot

Keep in mind that running the shutdown or reboot command will affect all users of the system, and it should be done with caution. Make sure to carefully plan and test any changes to the system before applying them to a production system.

Note: You will need to have the necessary privileges to run the sudo command. The specific options and syntax for the shutdown and reboot commands may vary depending on your Linux distribution and version. Consult the man pages or documentation for your system for more information.
