Remotely Shutdown Synology Disk Stations

March 27th, 2008

The normal command I use to shutdown a Linux box would be to run something like this as root:

# /sbin/shutdown -h now

If you have Telnet or SSH access to your Disk Station then you will find this command is not available. Instead you should run the command:

# poweroff

Or to reboot

# reboot

For a full list of the commands see the Basic Commands Synology Wiki page
