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 ;-) -Kastus

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?

Well, I cannot see why shutdown -r now should not work as root. Any other messages? -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.

none, no other messages only The system is going down for reboot NOW! then I press enter and it gives me back bash. If it matters, I don think it does you should know that first, as I am using telnet(but it is the same with ssh) I log in with my normal user account and then I su in, because as you might know already SuSE has a default securtiy rule of not allowing remote root login. Do you think that makes a diference? Anyways, thanks for your help, and I am still looking, with your help, at a way for rebooting my server. Raul

well the only things i have unhashed in my inetd.conf are: ftp pop3 and telnet which I am planning to has right away cause its insecure Perhaps you need shell and a few other services to execute a few commands like the ones refered to changing the runlevel and shutting down or rebooting.

and none of them worked.

I guess you no longer have this problem, but since I deal with Linux boxes around the globe daily, I figured I'd give my own experiences with this in case it helps out other people. Every time I've seen a machine in this state, I've been able to do a 'ps ax | grep reboot' (or halt, or shutdown, or whatever) and find a line that looks like: 17356 ? D 0:00 reboot The 'D' means 'uninterruptible sleep', which implies (correctly) that that process isn't ever going to finish. You can't even kill -9 it. Often, a 'reboot -f' will work (that says "don't call shutdown, force reboot".) -tara
