  4. In the case of emergencies like an attack by a hacker, one should always select the “Forceful server reboot” option. The server will restart immediately without shutting down any open programmes. However, there is a chance that the programme files will become corrupted as a result of the forced shutdown.

  5. If not, we advise you to select a “Graceful server reboot”, which will let running processes finish before shutting down. Even if it takes some time, this method is the safer one.
