        That’s basically the equivalent of pulling the plug. Works, but it’s not as gentle.

        R-E-I-S-U-B will:

        Ask programs to prepare for shutdown gracefully.

        Then, force programs to shutdown.

        Then, sync all changes to the disk gracefully.

        Then, unmount the file system.

        And finally reboot.

        Also you can replace “b” with “o” to shutdown.
