Aldebaran documentation What's new in NAOqi 2.4.3?

NAOqi OS 2.3.0

Strengthening security

NAOqi OS - unique user account on Pepper

In order to offer a better control, root account is no more available on Pepper.

For further details, see: NAOqi OS - user accounts.

Reboot and Halt - Best practices

Reboot and Halt the Robot with NAOqi running

qicli call ALSystem.shutdown
qicli call ALSystem.reboot

This will trigger a few things on the NAOqi side, such as stopping the Life properly and making sure the robot goes to a rest condition. Prefer this method if you can.

For further details, see:

Reboot and Halt the Robot without NAOqi running

Replace ... By ...
reboot sudo shutdown -r now
halt sudo shutdown -h now

For further details, see: Sudo and root permissions.

Restart NAOqi

Replace ... By ...
/etc/init.d/naoqi start nao start
/etc/init.d/naoqi stop nao stop
/etc/init.d/naoqi restart nao restart

For further details, see: Restarting and stopping NAOqi.
