If you read the error messages what do you think they are telling you?

The user 'root' trying to run sudo is not allowed to run sudo. You wll need to figure out how to add 'root' to the sudoers file.

You might want to ask about this on the [tinkerboard forum](https://tinkerboarding.co.uk/forum/index.php)

There is no point in root running the sudo command. The main problem is that it is not finding the reboot command. Have you tried `shutdown -r` instead?

I give the reboot a example, Every command don't work. it's weird because I use node-red in a lot of Asus but this time give me this time.  
I will try Uninstall and install again

What if you provide the full path to the command? If that works then it is a PATH issue.
