server reboot
 

Hello Everybody,

I am new to Linux and I need to reboot one of our test servers. can anyone give me the command sequence for a 'graceful' reboot?

Much appreciated

eg

try "sudo reboot" or just "reboot"

Thank you.
I checked the man page and I can't see an option to delay the reboot for a certain amount of seconds or to notify all users logged on the server.
Any experience with that?
eg

If you would like to delay the reboot run this "shutdown --help" to get more info about the shutdown cmd.

Hi,
You can use any one of the following options.

If you are a root user just run the following from console

#shutdown -r +3 "The system will be rebooted in 3 minutes, kindly save your work!!"
or
$sudo shutdown -r +3 "The system will be rebooted in 3 minutes, kindly save your work!!"

Thanks,
Bijo
