SSH & Shutdown?

[Krome]

I cannot seem to reboot server through ssh sessions. DOes shutdown work w/ ssh2?
As I su root, and then passwd.
shutdown -r now says command not found???

Try su - root

You could also type the full path

/sbin/shutdown -r

When you connect to a different machine using ssh to restart the machine you should do this.

# ssh -l root <ip address of machine>
# password <enter your password>

once you login as root you would do this

# shutdown -r now

it should restart. but if your using ssh as a regular user. you would do it this way ok

#ssh -l <username>
#password <user password>

then you would have to become su

# su - that's all you put to login as super user

# password <enter the admin password or root>

then you would use this command for shutting
down the server or restarting it

# shutdown -r now < will restart>


Hope it helps you .
