messages were not sent through SSH - they were printed on a local terminal. And that's where the reboot process stops when initiated remotely (but at the same time, local reboot works fine).
I could have observed this because I currently have the machine at home and am just testing remote restarts.

Hello,
| am trying to setup ipfilter on solaris express snv_91 but I don't seem to have the following file available.
/etc/ipf/pfil.ap
Is this an older way of configuring the interface?, I have all the packages installed.
Thanks, (1 Reply)
Simply question which should I use. correct me if I'm wrong but Solaris Express is taking the place of Opensolaris and is officially sanctioned by Oracle and OpenIndiana is what used to be OpenSolaris.
If I opt for OpenIndiana is it going to follow the official Oracle Solaris releases or are... (3 Replies)

Hi guys.
I'm in doubt to install Solaris 11 Express or to install Solaris 10.
I tried it a few months ago and that was totally disaster because Solaris 11 was slow

My PC from my perspective has more than enough HW power to run Solaris 11.

How do I change root password in SolarisExpress 11?
I used passwd while elevated to root and all it changes is the password of the user I am logged in, not te root password. (2 Replies)
I seem to be having a very irritating problem with my Solaris 11 Express fileserver which I built for my small home business. The basic problem is that the system will hang or freeze about 20 seconds into booting up. Grub comes up fine, and I can select between pre-napp-it and current build. It... (13 Replies)

reboot
reboot(2) System Calls Manual reboot(2)NAME
reboot - Reboots system or halts processor
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/reboot.h>
void reboot( int howto );
PARAMETERS
Specifies a mask of options.
DESCRIPTION
The reboot() function restarts the system. The startup is automatic and brings up /vmunix in the normal, nonmaintenance mode. The calling
process must have superuser privilege to run this function successfully. However, a reboot is invoked automatically in the event of unre-
coverable system failures.
The following options, defined in the sys/reboot.h include file are passed to the new kernel or the new bootstrap and init programs. They
are supplied as values to the howto parameter. The default, causing the system to reboot in its usual fashion. Dump kernel memory before
rebooting; see the savecore command for more information. The processor is simply halted; no reboot takes place. The disks are not sync'd
before the processor is halted or rebooted. Normally, the disks are sync'd (see the sync() command) before the processor is halted or
rebooted. Because the disks are not sync'd with the RB_NOSYNC option, loss of data may result from using it.
When no options are given (that is, RB_AUTOBOOT is used), the system is rebooted from file vmunix in the root file system of unit 0 (zero)
of a disk chosen in a processor-specific way. (see the fsck command).
RETURN VALUES
If successful, this call does not return. Otherwise, a -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
If the reboot() function fails, errno may be set to the following value: The calling process does not have appropriate privilege.
