Hi @all

I'm trying to reboot my Linux box with a script (or a C program).
In the script i use the command "reboot -d -f -i" and in my C program i use "system("reboot -d -f -i");".
And the system reboots successful. But unfortunately, the system don't shutdown clean. If i look an my system while executing the scritp (or the C program) it looks like i plug out the power for restarting. That means, that my box don't shutdown as it should be. So it is clear, that my box has several problems if it tries to boot because the harddrive wasn't cleanly unmounted!

If i reboot my box by hand, it works fine.

How can i fix this problem?
Does anyone has a hint for me?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The reboot command just reboots the computer. It shoud normally be called by init (the process responsible for keeping track of daemons), on entering the reboot runlevel (runlevel 6).

The command you want to use to reboot with is thus

or even shutdown now -i6

Thanks for your replies.
But unfortunately i have still the same behavoir even with your hints :-(

Does anyone have another hint?

Thanks for your help.
