I am new in Linux and I want to know the exact command to restart a RedHat linux server 6.3. And it has to start network drivers etc…

I am using VPN to connect to remote machine using VNC.

Can anyone help from the issue.

  • Are you trying to wake up a sleeping remote machine with no active network connections?

To restart your machine just use

reboot

All the services that are configured to start will be started as usual.

  • Just an addition, you have to be root for this and for restarting everything correctly, the system has to be set up correctly.

    May be: sudo reboot is better.

  • @shasi on a standard RH installation a normal user does not have the permission to reboot. Then either edit sudoers or get a root shell and reboot.

Maybe I'm not understanding the question, but assuming you have root (or sudo) privileges, then /sbin/reboot (or /sbin/shutdown -r now) will perform a full system reboot.

  • Then reboot (or /sbin/shutdown -r now) will perform a full system reboot - even if commanded from SSH

Not sure if this helps to you (provided I got you right). I believe you want to reboot remote linux machine.

Make sure you have root access and then run below command.

ssh root@destination_server_to_be_rebooted  reboot
