Dave, if you have a serial cable, you can connect it to the pi and see the
console messages and by that determine why the unit is not rebooting.
The cable I am talking about is a usb to serial cable made for the pi.
It has a usb on one end and female pins on the other end so you can put
them on the header of the pi for serial console access.
I suspect some process is hanging and not stopping.
You might also make sure your pi is fully updated so in case there is a
package that is problematic, it will get updated.
I think you can also make systemd log some useful messages, but I think
the console cable is easier.

Hello,===========================================================
I'm having a reproduceable issue with my Pi model 3B+ and I'm hoping
someone can help me with it.
Whenever I reboot it either as root with:
reboot
or as a user with:
sudo reboot
it doesn't come back up. What I mean is I wait like ten minutes as I
just did, and atempt a ping. That returns host not found, so ssh is
also out.
To get it back I have to go to the unit itself and physically unplug
the power cable, wait ten to fifteen seconds, then plug it back in,
and then it comes up just fine.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on this or if anyone else has seen this
how you fixed it?
Thanks.
Dave.
