Unspoken Lies Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 This may be a dumb question.. but I need to reboot the server here at work tomorrow.. is it really that simple as logging in and restarting it? I may run some updates too.. but I just started this IT job and for some reason am the only IT guy here.. and haven't done much of this.. I looked online for some info but it seems like I just log in and reboot the beast....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBL DUECE Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 What OS version are you on? yea you can just log on and reboot it on 2003 and 2008 it will ask for a reason. If you havent installed updates for awhile you may not want to as there can be some large ones that take time, also if it is a production server and you havent tested the updates on another server it may cause issues with the apllications running. Also patches can cause it to take longer to reboot. I guess it depends on why you are rebooting if its to clear an issue I would just reboot.

Unspoken Lies Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's OSX 10.6.8 There doesn't seem to be many updates (just says ITUNES update in server admin directory).. I was hoping it would be that simple.. And yea there are just small issues going on with it, mainly with permissions.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBL DUECE Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well I cant comment to much on that OS as I havent dealt with it, but just from experience, you dont usually want to throw in patches when the server is already having an issue and the patch hasnt been tested, I would just do the reboot.

Skylark95 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Windows Server, OSX, or Linux/Unix, it is usually just as simple as logging onto the server and rebooting it just like you would with your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
