To reboot a UNIX or Linux system, you can use the reboot
command. The reboot
command is a command-line utility that initiates a reboot of the system.
Here's the basic syntax for the reboot
command:
reboot
This will initiate a reboot of the system.
It's important to note that the reboot
command requires root privileges to run. This means that you will need to use sudo
to run the command if you are not logged in as the root user.
Here's an example of how to use the reboot
command with sudo
:
sudo reboot
This will initiate a reboot of the system, after prompting you for the root password.
It's also a good idea to save any work and close any open connections before rebooting the system. Rebooting the system will cause it to shutdown and restart, which will temporarily disconnect any devices connected to it from the internet. Consult the reboot
documentation and online resources for more information on how to use the reboot
command to reboot a UNIX or Linux system.
