The command "reboot --force" is used to forcefully restart a computer or a device.

When you execute this command, the operating system will immediately shut down all running processes and reboot the system without waiting for any ongoing tasks to complete or prompting for user confirmation. It skips the normal shutdown process, which typically includes closing applications and services gracefully.

The "--force" argument is added to ensure a sudden and immediate reboot without any delay. It is typically used when there is a need to quickly restart the system, such as in cases of troubleshooting or when the system becomes unresponsive.

It is important to exercise caution while using the "reboot --force" command, as it can result in data loss or cause instability if there are unsaved changes or pending operations. It is recommended to save all your work and close any important applications before executing this command.
