Just adding a correction. To restart from the command line prompt type the shutdown command with the -r (restart) switch and -n (time to restart). To shutdown the Mac from the command line type the shutdown command then -h switch and the -n (time to restart)switch.


Example:


shutdown -r -n 21:36

    To have the system shutdown/reboot immediately, just append now to the command.

    shutdown -r now
