How can I shut down or reboot Ubuntu using terminal commands?
Best Answer
For shutdown:
sudo poweroff
For restart:
sudo reboot
Appendix:
If your keyword is "lockup" so you can't enter a command like "reboot" which would run from "su" anyway, use the keyboard: hold down Alt + PrintScreen/SysRq, buttons and type "REISUB". It doesn't have to be capital letters. It will restart your computer gently. http://blog.kember.net/articles/reisub-the-gentle-linux-restart/
