How to do a clean reboot?
Posted by Grimnar on Sun 9 Jul 2006 at 13:33
I have one server under my desktop wich runs 24/7 all year, rarely I need to reboot. But in the event of reboot I use 'reboot' and that works, but when its going up again I need to attach a monitor and a keyboard, just for pressing
ctrl+D .
This is very annoying since I have to make a lot of arrangements for connecting a keyboard and a monitor. Why is this happening?
Is there some system failure causing it? Can it be 'remove' upon start?
All I want a system that goes up, boots the network and THEN gives me the errors, if there are any.
Of course, some would say 'just buy a keyboard/monitor switch and you be set'. That may be the future, but I already have far to may gadgets. Allthough one of those roll-out-rubber-keyboard would be kinda nice to have laying around.
So, what to do?
