[Snippet] Restart Linux Server from the Command Line
Another quick snippet.
How to restart a Linux server using only the command line.
Start by opening Terminal (Mac) or Putty (Windows) and enter the following, then hit ENTER.
/sbin/shutdown -r now
Warning: Always make sure the -r is included or the server will simply shutdown. Forcing you to manually reboot it. Unless your host provides something similar to Rapid Reboot (ServerBeach).
