reboot remote server

is there a tutorial that shows exactly how to reboot the wowza server using ssh ?

note i am logged in via ssh but dont know how to get it to reboot

login as: root

root@198.000.158.250’s password:

Last login: Fri Apr 4 15:37:34 2014 from 115.76.69.101

[root@m158250 ~]# cd wms/bin

[root@m158250 ~]# /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-3.5.0

-bash: /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-3.5.0: is a directory

[root@m158250 ~]# ./WowzaMediaServer restart

-bash: ./WowzaMediaServer: No such file or directory

[root@m158250 ~]#

This is covered in the starting and stopping Wowza section of the user guide.

To restart the service on linux it is either this:

service WowzaStreamingEngine stop

service WowzaStreamingEngine start

Or this:

/etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngine stop

/etc/init.d/WowzaStreamingEngine start

If you need to re-start the Manager, same as above with service name “WowzaStreamingEngineManager”

To reboot the server you can do:

reboot

or:

shutdown -r now
