What is the difference between that and simply
reboot
? Doessystemctl reboot
have any benefits?Wondering the same
Edit: after a quick google session it seems like usually the
reboot
command is linked tosystemctl
so it should be pretty much the same thing as far as I understand.reboot
is linked (aliased) to your init program. In the case you are using systemd then it’s equivalent tosystemctl reboot
.reboot
is generic and calls whatever init program you use.There are more than one init. Like for example GNU Shepherd.
SysV, Upstart
Gentoo uses OpenRC
sudo reboot -h now
Let’s get completely unnecessary:
# systemctl isolate runlevel6.target
# init 6
You, like me, must be old.
I also frequently pass
-l
to thessh
command.
sudo shutdown -r now
I just flick the switch on the surge protector.
Alt+SysRq-O
sudo ps -ef | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -r kill -9
sudo reboot 0
…is my go-to.
reboot -f
Because real men login as root and don’t care about such silly things like an init system or file system syncing!
To quote the man page:
-f Does not invoke shutdown(8) and instead performs the actual action you would expect from the name.
Can you give Linus a Raiden hat?
Dummy me I type “systemctl restart” instead 🤦♂️
PuTTY: “unexpectedly” disconnected.

I’ve repurposed a broken T2 macbook with Ubuntu Server, but any time I issue a reboot command, it just shuts down, and I need to manually walk to my garage and boot it back up.
Does anyone know why I’m so stoopid?
I was having issues with my pc hanging on reboot, so i changed the bios to auto boot when power is applied, and use a smart switch to manually power cycle when it hangs.
Not sure if the mac bios supports that, but its worth a look
I will always use the GUI for this when given the option. Change my mind (you can’t).
I won’t try but I’ll always use the command line.
It’s faster for me! Ctrl+alt+T brings up terminal, sudo reboot. Enter.
sudo
Live Mas as the root account
Sudo shutdown now -r
Sudo reboot now
