hi,
i have a FC3 system, and i remotely access it. when i do a reboot (as root) from the remote session. it terminates the remote session, but it doesn't take the whole system down for a complete reboot.
apparently i've changed something as this used to work. any idea how to get the reboot to working again...
i'm running as userlevel 3.
I would try
sync
(just in case, you'll never know ;-) ) followed by
reboot -f
usage: reboot [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i] [-p] -n: don't sync before rebooting the system -w: only write a wtmp reboot record and exit. -d: don't write a wtmp record. -f: force halt/reboot, don't call shutdown. -p: power down the system (if possible, otherwise reboot)
thanks
