reboot: Power off the system (same as `poweroff`).
$ reboot --poweroff
try on your machine

The command "reboot --poweroff" is used to forcefully reboot and power off a system at the same time.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "reboot" is a command that restarts the system. It can be used to reboot or shut down the computer.
  • "--poweroff" is an option or argument provided to the "reboot" command. It specifies that the system should be powered off after the reboot.

By using "reboot --poweroff", you are initiating a reboot process that will eventually shut down the system completely once it has finished restarting. This command is often used when a system hangs or becomes unresponsive and you want to force a reboot and power off.
