CAUTION:
■ The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the
rebooting time, the device will prompt a specific reboot time and date and will
reboot one minute after this reboot time.
■ The execution of the reboot, schedule reboot at, and schedule reboot
delay commands can reboot a device. As a result, the ongoing services will be
interrupted. Be careful to use these commands.
■ If a primary boot file fails or does not exist, the device cannot be rebooted with
this command. In this case, you can re-specify a primary boot file to reboot the
device, or you can power off the device then power it on and the system
automatically uses the secondary boot file to restart the device.
■ If you are performing file operations when the device is to be rebooted, the
system removes the reboot operation for the sake of security.
