It says the typical: Warning! The system is going is being rebooted(or something like this) Then I get back bash $. What I do then is I su in, and I run the runlevel command and I get: 3 6 which means that is supposed to be in rebooting runlevel! but it stays there. And dont worry about the distance, I am on a station which is two meters away from the server. Is there any other way around to get done a remote reboot?

Does anybody has an idea why I am not able remotely reboot my server with ssh or telnet. The thing is that the keyboard and the graphic display card are dead. I have been looking lots of way to do this but havent found. I have tried as root from telnet and ssh the following commands: init 0 init 6 shutdown -r now halt poweroff
and none of them worked.
What response did you get from those commands? Did the machine reboot or did it stay at the same run level?
This type of action is a risky one, especially if you on the other side of the globe from the machine you're rebooting.
The biggest problem occurs when telnetd/sshd does not start after reboot ;-)
