What is terminal command on Raspberry Pi to reboot device?

On a Raspberry Pi (running Raspberry Pi OS or most Linux distros), you can reboot from the terminal with:

sudo reboot

Alternatives

  • Using shutdown command:
sudo shutdown -r now
  • Schedule a reboot (e.g., in 5 minutes):
sudo shutdown -r +5

Notes

  • sudo is required because rebooting needs administrator privileges.
  • Make sure you’ve saved any work before running the command.
