### Reboot Commander

{% hint style="warning" %}
Rebooting the Commander Site Controller will interrupt all active fuel and payment transactions at the site. Coordinate with site staff before initiating a remote reboot and confirm no customers are actively fueling or processing payments.
{% endhint %}

The Reboot Commander command allows authorized users to remotely reboot the Verifone Commander Site Controller at a site. This is typically used during maintenance or when the Verifone Commander Site Controller requires a restart to apply configuration changes.

Navigation: Verifone Commander Central > Site Management > (Select Site) > System Settings > Reboot Commander.

To reboot the Verifone Commander Site Controller:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Navigate**

Navigate to System Settings > Reboot Commander.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Check Site**

Make sure the site is idle before you continue. Confirm that no transactions are currently in progress at the site.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select**

Start the Reboot Commander.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Review Prompt**

Review the confirmation prompt carefully:

“Rebooting the Commander will take fuel and payments offline during the reboot period. Please ensure there are no transactions currently in progress prior to rebooting the Commander, as these transactions may not be completed as a result of the reboot. Are you sure you want to reboot the Commander?”
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Confirm**

Select Confirm to proceed, or Cancel to abort.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Track Status**

Monitor the reboot until the Commander Site Controller is back online. The command status updates to ACCEPTED, then IN\_PROGRESS. The Verifone Commander Site Controller will reboot and come back online automatically. Monitor the status indicator to confirm the Verifone Commander Site Controller is back online after the reboot.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://commanderhelp.verifone.com/customer-documentation/petro-and-c-store/commander-central/commander-central-user-guide/site-configuration/system-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
