Rebooting a Running System

There are two methods for shutting down and rebooting your system, shutdown and reboot. Always use the shutdown method when multiple users are logged onto the system. Because processes might be running that should be terminated more gracefully than a reboot permits, shutdown is the preferred method for all systems.
