Solved How do I reboot 3CX linux server?

[William Hall]

I can't see anything on the GUI and if I login via SSH the commands "reboot" and "shutdown" are not recognised.

Hello @William Hall

Please note that you can only restart the PBX services from the management console not the entire operating system. You will need SSH access to the machine the PBX is installed on to be able to reboot it.

Thanks
As I said I have ssh access. If I say "shutdown -r now" I get "-bash: shutdown: command not found"
I login as "admin"

I had a problem similar to:
https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/snom-d715-not-connecting.44902/#post-181381
All Snom phones would connect but then no audio.
with multiple lines in the Snom D710 log similar to:
Sep 12 10:45:25.395 [NOTICE] PHN: TPL: Socket 25 idle/connect timeout

I restarted all the services from 3Cx dashboard and this seems to have fixed the problem.

log in as root, then just issue the command

reboot

"Admin" is not the same as "root". It is not recommended to login as root. Ever. Always use sudo to run commands with elevated privileges.

If you have ssh access, the do the following:

sudo reboot

or

sudo shutdown -r now

The first is a more modern way to do it. The second is a more granular, older way to do it.

Both accomplish the same thing.

Thanks. "sudo reboot" works

Marari is correct. Always use sudo to elevate admin (or whatever Linux account you need.)

You're welcome. Glad I could assist.
