System Reboot

Earth First Web Hosting Manager has two reboot functions available:

• Graceful - A graceful server reboot attempts to shutdown all processes on your server and then reboot the system. This is a similar process to the reboot command.

• Forceful - A forceful server reboot forces the system to restart and may not always shutdown all running processes. This process should not be used unless a graceful server reboot does not work.

Note: Make sure you save information in open applications before you reboot, as unsaved information will be lost.

Note: A forceful reboot may cause data loss. However, it is a better option than a hard reset.

To reboot your server:

1. Click on the Graceful Server Reboot or Forceful Server Reboot link in the System Reboot menu.

2. Click on the button.
