Restarting Your Machine

Once you’ve connected to the console shell you may invoke the actions menu by pressing Ctrl+p Ctrl+o.

Select “Reboot your server” and you will be guided through the rebooting process.

Note that you should only use these mechanisms if the normal reboot command

virtual machines, you risk recent changes to your system being lost or corrupted
as it is equivalent to “pulling the plug”.
