Actions Menu

The actions menu is the main way of interacting with the administration functions of your machine. Using this menu you may :

• Restart your machine
• Reimage, or reinstall, your machine
• Setup watchdog rules.
• Change your kernel

To invoke the actions menu simply press Ctrl+p Ctrl+o whenever you’re inside the console shell.
