I ssh'd into my home system as root without any problems. But when I give the command to reboot, nothing happens.. "shutdown -r now" also just gives a response saying the system is going down, but again it does not actually reboot!
Can anyone tell me why and how to reboot a system remotely? I tried via VNC also, no joy...
Due to the security implications, I always disable remote root logins. I leave one regular user account enabled that can then be used to 'su' to root as required. With that out of the way...
Here's the command I use to reboot:
#~> init 6
That's what I do, also. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
