Depend on your server there's alot of way to re boot it

A soft reboot uses the operating system’s reboot process so that applications are shut down gracefully. A hard reboot halts the instance and then restarts it, similar to turning a computer off and then on.

It's always recommended to shut down the server by using the command line. You can fire 'reboot', 'shut-down' or halt command to reboot your server.

When you will fire the command that time stop signal is given to the all processes and it takes 2 to 5 seconds to get the signal. If there is no issue the server will reboot, else it will provide the exception or error message.

One exception is using the reboot command with the -f option, this will skip executing init scripts and will reboot the system directly.

There is graphics interface too using which you can just one click to reboot the server.
