request system reboot (in 2 Hours)
The following example, which assumes that the time is 5 PM (17:00), illustrates three different ways to request the system to reboot in two hours:
user@host> request system reboot at +120 user@host> request system reboot
in 120 user@host> request
system reboot at 19:00 request system reboot (Immediately)
user@host> request system reboot at now request system reboot (at 1:20 AM)
To reboot the system at 1:20 AM, enter the following command. Because 1:20 AM is the next day, you must specify the absolute time.
user@host> request system reboot at 06060120 request system reboot at 120 Reboot the system at 120? [yes,no] (no) yes
