Any recommendations on how to reboot the VOXL2 from the ssh terminal?

It stops our mavlink router and ssh terminals when running ```reboot``` or ```reboot.sh``` 

But I can still ping it's IP address, but the ssh and mavlink servers do not return.

@mrawding I just tried `reboot` and `shutdown -r now` from an ssh session and both seem to work fine. After the board reboots I can ssh back into it. Are you using WiFi?

@Eric-Katzfey we are using A doodle radio

Just found that ```reboot -f``` works. 

It's interesting weird that the network interface seems to not go down but all the services do - and don't come back.
