Rebooting a VPS instance?

Customer Support H-Sphere Shared Hosting

Hello all-

I’m trying to reboot my VPS, and it just won’t happen.

[CODE]
root:root>shutdown -r now

Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Mon Jan 16 19:19:57 2006):

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
root:root>reboot -f
root:root>reboot -n

Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Mon Jan 16 19:20:29 2006):

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl[/CODE]

It just continues running. Uptime reports it’s been running for a couple of days. Ideas?

Thanks,
Joe LeVasseur

A shutdown or reboot command can not be issued, but you can utilize hsphere to restart the CP

Stephen-

I don’t think that actually reboots the instance, correct? You’re talking about the page in HSphere where you can set check the status and click on ‘Stop it’ or ‘Start it’, correct? That doesn’t seem to reboot the instance- it reports uptime as if it’s been running the whole time anyway. It doesn’t seem to to have run all of the boot scripts. I just tried it and here’s the result.

root:root>uptime
 19:45:16  up 2 days, 14:04,  1 user,  load average: 0.03, 0.02, 0.00

I did a couple of searches on Google, and it looked like normal ‘reboot’ should work.

“reboot” should work, however dont rely on uptime, as virtualization of “uptime” has been added in version 1.5 of FreeVPS.

Ok, there is indeed an issue. I will look into it and let you know. Sorry for the earlier reply, i confused Stephen there.
