This guide explains how to use SSH to reboot a Linux Server. You have to restart the server for the hosting configurations to take effect. A Linux server can be restarted by an administrator using SSH access.
Note: It will take some time to reboot a server. The hosting service will be unavailable during that time. We advise you to schedule the reboot properly.
Let us follow the steps:
- Use SSH to access your server.
- Run this command by typing it in:
sudo reboot
- Your session will automatically end and the interface will exit once SSH starts the server reboot.
