<P>
Rebooting means booting the system again. This can be accomplished
by first shutting it down completely, turning power off, and then
turning it back on. A simpler way is to ask <tt>shutdown</tt><A NAME="2161"> </A> to
reboot the system, instead of merely halting it. This
is accomplished by using the <tt>-r</tt> option to shutdown, for
example, by giving the command <tt>shutdown -r now</tt>.
<A NAME="2080"> </A>
<P>
Most Linux systems run <tt>shutdown -r now</tt>
when ctrl-alt-del is pressed on the keyboard. This reboots the
system. The action on ctrl-alt-del is configurable, however, and
it might be better to allow for some delay before the reboot
on a multiuser machine. Systems that are physically accessible
to anyone might even be configured to do nothing when ctrl-alt-del
is pressed.
