My webgui has been freezing up and I want to know if there is a simple way to do a clean power down through terminal when I can no longer access unRAID through the web browser.

 

I have an Asrock server motherboard (signature) and have access through IPMI and I want to use it to restart or shutdown my server cleanly so that it does not have to initiate a parity check on startup.

 

What are the specific commands to spin down, unmount, stop services, and clean power down (or reboot)?

 

Thanks.

powerdown -r

 

 

oh wow, it's that simple?! Looking back at V5 there was like an essay you had to write.

 

So what code would I type for a restart?

 

restart -r

 

I'm guessing that's incorrect.

in v5 days restart -r wouldn't do a clean restart.  The powerdown plugin is now incorporated into unRaid 6.2+

 

And that command I gave was for the restart.  A shutdown is just powerdown

oh, okay. Awesome! Thanks a bunch. 

reboot also works on V6.3

Is there also a console command for sleep mode?

echo -n mem >/sys/power/state

 

Was the native restart/reboot command hooked into the powerdown script automatically after 6.2? It allowed the hardware power button to do a clean shutdown.

reboot = /sbin/reboot
powerdown = /sbin/poweroff

I do not know why but powerdown is not always working for me (sometimes I have to do the powerdown three times in a row!). I don't know why this is the case. On the other hand, reboot works perfectly, always.
