The run request system reboot command restarts the device.

Command Syntax

run request system reboot <description>

Parameters

Parameter	Description
<description>	Optional. Add a description in the syslog before the system reboots by using run request system reboot command. The value is a string. If the description contains spaces, we need to enclose the whole string in double quotes.

Usage Guidelines

The command enables you to restart the device remotely.

After executing the reboot command, PICOS will automatically save the user configuration and restart the device with system diagnostics.

As system reboot will cause service interruption, so be cautious to use this command.

By configuring the description parameter, the system prints a system log with this description information before the system reboots.

The log message containing this description is in the syslog file /var/log/messages.

The log message containing this description information is at the info level. To display the log message, you need to set the log-level to info or trace. Otherwise, the system will not record this log.
The log message containing this description information is recorded only in the scenarios when the system is restarted by using run request system reboot <description> command. But in the scenarios of restarting the system when manually powered off or device fault, the system will not record the log message containing this description information.

Example

Reboot PICOS.

admin@Xorplus# run request system reboot

Reboot PICOS with the description information “Hello World”.

admin@Xorplus# set system syslog local-file disk   // Set the system log file to save to disk.
admin@Xorplus# run request system reboot "Hello World"
admin@Xorplus:~$ tail -f /var/log/messages       // Check the system logs.
