poweroff: Reboot the system (same as `reboot`).
$ poweroff --reboot
try on your machine
The command "poweroff --reboot" is used to initiate a system shutdown and reboot the computer.
Here's an explanation of each part of the command:
-
"poweroff" is a system command used to shut down the computer. It is typically used to turn off the system and power down the hardware in an organized manner.
-
"--reboot" is an option passed to the "poweroff" command. It tells the system to perform a reboot instead of a complete shutdown. This means that after powering off, the computer will automatically turn back on and start the boot-up process, effectively restarting the system.
So when you execute the "poweroff --reboot" command, the computer will initiate a shutdown, but instead of fully powering off, it will reboot and restart the system.
