In addition to performing a shutdown through the Dashboard UI as the previous post indicates one can use SSH to issue the shutdown or reboot command to a v4.x firmware version My Cloud. However, as the previous post states there is no way to restart the single bay My Cloud once shut down. One has to remove power then reapply it in order to restart the My Cloud from a shutdown state.
For Android, I use the SSH Button app on my Android phone. Note: Replace the SSH host name with the IP Address of your My Cloud, and replace the SSH password with your password if it has been changed. The following commands may only work on v4.x version My Cloud’s.
Shutdown and power off:
Command: /sbin/shutdown -h -P now
SSH hostname: 192.168.1.10
SSH username: root
SSH password: welc0me
SSH port: 22
Shutdown only:
Command: /sbin/shutdown -r now
SSH hostname: 192.168.1.10
SSH username: root
SSH password: welc0me
SSH port: 22
Power off only:
Command: /sbin/poweroff
SSH hostname: 192.168.1.10
SSH username: root
SSH password: welc0me
SSH port: 22
Reboot:
Command: /sbin/reboot
SSH hostname: 192.168.1.10
SSH username: root
SSH password: welc0me
SSH port: 22
