I know this may sound trival to some but I'm wondering what the best command is remotely reboot a Solaris 10 box. I'm obviously a Solaris newbie and I've run into a few problems where when I attempted a 'shutdown -i6' command the box booted into the ALOM (maybe its ELOM?) which then I didn't know how to get out of and back into the normal boot cycle. I also pulled the power cords once the box was down during that reboot attempt, not sure if that had something to do with it booting into the ALOM or not. <br />
<br />
Anyway, this weekend I have a window to reboot our box however I will be doing this remotely. I'm looking for the correct syntax that one would use to reboot the box so that it comes up cleanly back into the OS. I want to avoid it going into any &quot;other&quot; mode.<br />
<br />
Appologize for the newbie verbage.<br />
Thanks in advance....<br />

Command to Reboot Solaris 10 Box

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
