Re: [cobalt-users] Stupid ? - Restart server from Telnet



>What is the command to restart the server from telnet?

Well, I'm sure I'll be called to task for not doing this the "nice" way,
but I'm 20 years into Unix, so sue me:

 1) Telnet in
 2) su to root
 3) /sbin/shutdown -h now

Or, if you're REALLY old school:

 1) Telnet in
 2) su to root
 3) sync; sync; /sbin/halt

(the last method there was for the benefit of us old folks who still
remember what "BOOT 14114" means).
