rebooting

[Rusher]

What would be a reason you'd have to reboot when you have VPS?

On this scenario at most;
-System crashed
-kernel patches/upgrades/update
-take corrective action

How do I reboot my Debian 6 VPS - is there an SSH command?

Thanks

You can reboot your VPS trough Virtuozzo Power Panel (VZPP)

Virtuozzo Power Panel (VZPP) is provided with all Linux VPS plans. It allows you to manage your VPS in terms of resource monitoring, firewall settings, process monitoring, stop/start/rebooting and even package and file level updates.

The following works over ssh:

shutdown -r now

Keep in mind you need to be logged in as root or sudo it depending on your OS.

I just learned this today. On redhat, try just "reboot". I think i'll use that since shutdown -r now could be dangerous if you forget the -r.

Imagine shutting the server down through ssh.
