@jtittle would killall command shut down all running process then would be safe to reboot?
@hasayoume141 - The best way to issue a restart/reboot is to do so through the CLI. You can use
rebootor theshutdowncommand to perform this task. You won’t lose your database as a result of a restart/reboot, though the potential for corruption exists, especially if there’s reading / writing taking place at the time of action (which can also result in incomplete writes). The best thing to do would be to shutdown services prior to shutting down or rebooting to ensure that reading & writing isn’t taking place at the time the system finally goes down as a result of the command.Use
rebootthrough SSH to give it a soft reboot.
