I noticed you said you had to reboot after this happens, I've never had a necessity to reboot so your situation might be different than mine, and perhaps someone else would better answer your question. (Are you sure you need to reboot?)

And it is a good idea to alias that command, so that you only have to type two or so characters in order to enter it, e.g., I have mine set to 'gc' so all I have to do is type 'gc' and then enter instead of that entire line.

Put "alias in linux" into google, or something like that. It's very simple, easy to understand and do.
