[sf-lug] server reboot

[Alex Kleider]

I've been playing around with a Raspberry Pi as a server on my local 
network.
It's headless and I use ssh to log on.
When ever I want to do a reboot (# shutdown -r now), rather than the 
connection being lost and my local prompt appearing (as happens when I 
do an 'exit,') my terminal window simply freezes and I have to close it 
forcibly and open another.
This doesn't seem to me to be the way it should be done.
Has any one any suggestions as to the 'right way'?
thanks,
Alex
PS I've tried using screen and simply detaching from the frozen screen: 
that saves me from having to forcibly shut down my terminal but leaves 
me with a 'frozen screen' in the list of 'screens' to which I can 
reattach.  Also not very elegant, me thinks.
