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...

Marc, Probably already answered, but if you have sudo enabled on the remote box, then it is just the simple matter of issuing a ssh call on your local box: ssh your.remote.box 'sudo shutdown -r now' I've always done it that way, I'll have to give the init 6 a try as well, but so far just issuing the sudo shutdown from the local box has worked well for years.
