I am new in Linux and I want to know the exact command to restart a RedHat linux server 6.3. And it has to start network drivers etc…
I am using VPN to connect to remote machine using VNC.
Can anyone help from the issue.

Are you trying to wake up a sleeping remote machine with no active network connections? – zero2cx Sep 24 '12 at 03:55

To restart your machine just use
reboot
All the services that are configured to start will be started as usual.

Just an addition, you have to be root for this and for restarting everything correctly, the system has to be set up correctly. – Michael K Aug 27 '12 at 07:21

@shasi on a standard RH installation a normal user does not have the permission to reboot. Then either edit sudoers or get a root shell and reboot. – Matteo Jun 19 '14 at 11:11

Maybe I'm not understanding the question, but assuming you have root (or sudo) privileges, then /sbin/reboot (or /sbin/shutdown -r now) will perform a full system reboot.

Then reboot (or /sbin/shutdown -r now) will perform a full system reboot - even if commanded from SSH – Andrew Aug 27 '12 at 08:20

Not sure if this helps to you (provided I got you right). I believe you want to reboot remote linux machine.
Make sure you have root access and then run below command.
ssh root@destination_server_to_be_rebooted reboot
