shutdown server remotely
 

Greetings:

Im using SSH to login to another server. My questions are:
What commands to restart or shutdown a server remotely?
What are other commands regarding/relating to remote administration?
Can anyone give me best articles regarding this. thanks:study:

ssh into the remote host and use "poweroff" or "reboot".

or halt...
or init 0
or init 6 for reboot but not sure about that one

Do you know what is ssh?

(as root or sudo)

will shutdown immediatly

Will reboot immediatly

I expect reboot (which most distros have) is just a script that executes the above command. Check the man pages if you want to schedule it for different times etc.

As for remote admin commands well... SSH is a Secure SHell, meaning you can do anything in that shell that you can locally.

you could use webmin to setup things via a browser etc. it all depends on what you want to do

same as local admin, are you not using ssh?
