Reboot & Shutdown from Terminal

ICLlP

Occasionally I find the Rune UI unresponsive, but I can log on to my R Pis using Mac Terminal. It's been a while since I tried to reboot via Terminal and it seems I've forgotten the command. I thought it was 'sudo shutdown-r', but it seems it's not. Please would someone remind me what it is?

Hi,

"reboot" should do the trick.

Better solution is to do it like it is done from the UI.

sh /var/www/command/rune_shutdown
reboot

rune_shutdown will stop the services and unmount your shares.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for coming to my assistance, but I'm having no luck. both options, short and long, shut it down, but neither rebooted.

First I tried this
[root@iqaudio ~]# reboot
packet_write_poll: Connection to 10.0.0.102: Host is down

Then this
[root@iqaudio ~]# sh /var/www/command/rune_shutdown
Stop MPD and unmount shares...
Updating DB (#1) ...
volume: 71% repeat: off random: off single: off consume: on
[root@iqaudio ~]# reboot
packet_write_poll: Connection to 10.0.0.102: Host is down

And then this
[root@iqaudio ~]# sh /var/www/command/rune_shutdown reboot
Stop MPD and unmount shares...
volume: 71% repeat: off random: off single: off consume: on
[root@iqaudio ~]#

I pulled the plug and reconnected to reboot between each attempt.

With the third option Terminal thinks it's still up, or is up again, but I can't access the UI. "Safari cannot connect to the server".

Nothing special, but it may take some time (minutes) to reboot this way.
Host is down! Yes because you forced a reboot.

Then this
[root@iqaudio ~]# sh /var/www/command/rune_shutdown
Stop MPD and unmount shares...
Updating DB (#1) ...
volume: 71% repeat: off random: off single: off consume: on
[root@iqaudio ~]# reboot
packet_write_poll: Connection to 10.0.0.102: Host is down

Also nothing special.
MPD does a data base update at the moment.
This takes some time depending on the size of your music library.

And then this
[root@iqaudio ~]# sh /var/www/command/rune_shutdown reboot
Stop MPD and unmount shares...
volume: 71% repeat: off random: off single: off consume: on
[root@iqaudio ~]#

This doesn't execute the "reboot" command!
So also nothing special.

With the third option Terminal thinks it's still up, or is up again, but I can't access the UI.

As i wrote in my last post:
"rune_shutdown will stop the services and unmount your shares"
The ssh keeps alive and the UI gets unreachable.
This is exactly what should happen.

What do you expect?

I was hoping for a simple reboot. How do I get the UI back?
What's wrong with the commands I used in the past? sudo shutdown-r now used to work. I think!

Hi ICLlP,

I was hoping for a simple reboot.

The commands:
- reboot
- init 6
- shutdown -r now
do exactly the same thing.

/var/www/command/rune_shutdown
is a helper script that stops all services and unmounts your shares.

So all you need is "reboot" or "shutdown now -r".
To get a clean shutdown or reboot you should use "rune_shutdown".

When logged in as root you do not need to use "sudo".

If your device doesn't reboot immediately you have one or more stuck service.
In most cases it will be mpd that causes this.

Thank you Frank. That is useful. I'll keep a note.
