    Shutdown & Reboot

    Hi I have written a script that should restart certain processes after a reboot is done but I have noticed that sometimes it doesn't work.

    Is there a difference in running:

    /sbin/ shutdown -r now
    or
    reboot

    Do these two commands do the same thing? If my script is correct should both of these commands start up the required processes?

    Thanks
    - James

    Take a look at this page for some info on how shutdown works:

    ...also check the man pages for command details:

    Code:
    man reboot
man shutdown
