Chapter 6. Managing the system
Rebooting
simply means restarting the server.
If users are logged on to the system,
you should not reboot the server
until you have informed all the
users that the server must be shut
down temporarily; however, sometimes
an emergency necessitates immediate
rebooting of a server to correct a
problem that cannot be fixed any
other way. To reboot your system,
follow these steps:
- Click
the REBOOT button on the Server
administration page.
- Bankoi
WebHost Panel warns you that the
system will be restarted and
asks you to confirm your choice,
for safety purposes. Click OK to
reboot, or CANCEL to keep the
server up.
IMPORTANT
Rebooting
the server via the Bankoi WebHost
Panel interface also reboots the
operating system and anything else
running on the server.
When you
need to completely shut down the
server, you should do it through the
Bankoi WebHost Panel software rather
than simply turning off the
hardware. Shutting down with Bankoi
WebHost Panel closes all open files
and gracefully ends all current
services. To shut down your system,
follow these steps:
- Click
the SHUTDOWN button on the
Server administration page.
- Bankoi
WebHost Panel warns you that the
system will be shut down and
asks you to confirm your choice,
for safety purposes. Click OK to
turn the server off or CANCEL to
keep the server active.
IMPORTANT
Shutting
down the server via the Bankoi
WebHost Panel interface will also
shut down the operating system and
anything else running on the
server. After having done this,
there is no way to remotely bring
the server back up; it must be
done manually.
