If the CloudLinux Manager is prompting you to reboot your system to update the kernel, it means that a new kernel has been installed on your system, and it requires a reboot for the changes to take effect.

Here are the steps you should follow to safely update and reboot your system:

1. Save Your Work:

   • Before proceeding with the reboot, make sure to save any unsaved work and close any important applications.

2. Check System Status:

   • Use commands like uptime or w to check how long your system has been running. This will give you an idea of how long it's been since the last reboot.

3. Confirm the Kernel Update:

   • Confirm that a new kernel has indeed been installed. You can do this by running:

     bash

• • uname -r

    This command will display the current kernel version.

• Review the Changes:

  • Take a moment to review any release notes or documentation related to the new kernel. This may provide insights into any new features, bug fixes, or security updates.

• Schedule a Downtime:

  • If your system is hosting critical services, plan a maintenance window when you can safely reboot the system. This ensures minimal disruption to users.

• Reboot the System:

  • Initiate the reboot using the following command:

    bash
• • sudo reboot

• Monitor the Boot Process:

  • Pay attention to the boot process for any error messages or warnings. This can help identify any issues with the new kernel.

• Verify the Kernel Version After Reboot:

  • After the reboot, confirm that the system is running the updated kernel:

    bash
