Rebooting a running system
Because processes might be running that should be terminated more gracefully than a reboot permits, shutdown is the preferred method for all systems.
There are two methods for shutting down and rebooting your system, shutdown and reboot. Always
use the shutdown method when multiple users are logged on to the system.
| Task | SMIT Fast Path | Command or File |
|---|---|---|
| Rebooting a Multiuser System | smit shutdown | shutdown -r |
| Rebooting a Single-User System | smit shutdown | shutdown -r or reboot |
