I always used this command to restart my VPS

Code:
shutdown -r now
However, sometimes it causes MySQL issues and I don't know hy. What's the most graceful way to restart CentOS 7? I have just got this version on a new VPS.

I've read tutorials online and they suggest to use

Code:
reboot
and

Code:
halt
How can I gently reboot the machine?

I personally always use reboot command and haven't faced any issues so far.

I would suggest reboot also.

shutdown -r now does the same thing but it's easier to just use reboot if you forget to add the -r.

The reboot command should force MySQL to shutdown gracefully along with all other services. I would check the MySQL error log for any events that happened during the reboot.

Not sure about halt, but shutdown -r now and reboot should do the same thing if not using -f argument. Because it should follow same procedures.
