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!
The whole discussion about reboot, init 6, and shutdown -r now notwithstanding (they all do the same actions anyhow), I'd like to note that this "should" work; I do it regularly. Either your problem is caused by software; then /var/log/messages or /var/log/boot.msg (boot.omsg after reboot) should contain hints. It might also be a different issue: I have one workstation (an Dell Optiplex 990) where reboot doesn't work at all. Neither remote nor on console. Linux terminates all process, unmounts all disks, and then nothing happens. Bloody annoying. :-( Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
