Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : different of graceful with forcefull reboot?

[CustomerSupport]

anybody know what's the diff about two method of reboot?

[BTCentral - Ben]

Graceful shuts down services and current processes in order as specified by the shutdown routine - it waits for each process to terminate normally.
Forceful just terminates everything and shuts down (which means there potentially could be data loss/corruption).

Gracefull reboot- Its shuts everything down first.
Forcefull reboot - Its just get directly shuts down.

[Mr. Obvious]

Graceful - Shut down eventually
Forceful - You're going down, right now.
