Or shutdown -r now
Authored by: googoo on Sep 10, '04 10:42:55AM
According to the shutdown man page, the shutdown command with no options brings the system down to single user mode but does not reboot. If you use the -r option, it does execute the reboot command. The main difference between using shutdown -r and reboot is that shutdown requires a time (i.e., shutdown -r now) and will warn all logged on users of the impending shutdown. (I realize that this is not important if you just want to reboot your Mac immediately.)
