Are you talking about using an alias for "shutdown -r now?"

Code:

alias new_command_name='restart X'

Note that is just an example. Please let me know if that is what you are looking for, unless you are trying to do something else. What exactly are you trying to do, anyway?

Cheers,

Josh

I am sorry, but I am having a hard time trying to understand what you are saying. If anything, could you try to use an online translator to translate from your native language to English?

You have reported both of your posts. Is there a problem we can help you with? I do not see any moderation necessary.

As to the location of shutdown & vi;

~# whereis vi
vi: /usr/bin/vi /usr/X11R6/bin/vi /usr/bin/X11/vi /usr/X11/bin/vi

~# whereis shutdown
shutdown: /sbin/shutdown /usr/man/man2/shutdown.2.gz /usr/man/man8/shutdown.8.gz /usr/share/man/man2/shutdown.2.gz /usr/share/man/man8/shutdown.8.gz /usr/X11/man/man2/shutdown.2.gz /usr/X11/man/man8/shutdown.8.gz
