[opensuse] Reboot via SSH

I ssh'd into my home system as root without any problems. But when I give the command to reboot, nothing happens.. "shutdown -r now" also just gives a response saying the system is going down, but again it does not actually reboot!

Can anyone tell me why and how to reboot a system remotely? I tried via VNC also, no joy...

Marc..
