Hello Sharad and others, you made my day! i already tried to do ssh as root with the 'reboot' command, but it didn't work. however when i tried it again with '-T', i was able to reboot the machine and now i can login again. Still have to look for the real cause. Anyway, thank you very much! dirk On Tue, 2009-07-21 at 09:35 +0530, Sharad wrote: > Do you check if ssh hostname somecommand works or not?
