I'm used to UNIX, so I got this habit, in SCO UNIX it used to be shutdown -g0.
I also use shutdown now -r

    Hi,

    as there are times that machines in test mis-behave and we have
    (hopefully) still got access to a terminal. Which of these do you use?

    "init 6" performs reboot in a clean and orderly manner,informing
    the daemon of the change in runlevel,which subsequently achieves
    the appropriate milestone and ultimately executes the rc0 kill
    scripts.

    "reboot" performs an immediate system reboot,does not execute the
    rc0 kill scripts,simply unmounts file systems and reboots the
    System. It is not recommended,especially when you are rebooting
    after a live-upgrade of OS & any patch-updates ,etc.

    I'm not sure if "shutdown -y -i6 -g0" still is an option ( I used
    it many years ago on restarting Unix systems but it is calling init 6)

    Regards,

    Phill.
