by

To restart a Linux server using Putty SSH client on Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Open Putty and connect to your Linux server using the appropriate IP address, username and password.
  2. Once connected, enter the command “sudo reboot” and press Enter. This will initiate the reboot process.
  3. You will be prompted to enter your password again to confirm the reboot.
  4. Once the reboot is complete, you can reconnect to the server using Putty.

Note: “sudo” is used to run the command as an administrator. If you are already logged in as an administrator, you can just use “reboot” without “sudo” Also, you could use “shutdown -r now” instead of “sudo reboot” to restart the server, this command does not require “sudo”
