Failed to Connect to Bus: Connection Refused

I am using Nas server, Netgear Readynas. This is my uname

root@nas316:~# uname -a
Linux nas316 4.4.190.x86_64.1 #1 SMP Mon Oct 28 01:55:46 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Somehow can't restart server.

root@nas316:~# shutdown -r now
Failed to connect to bus: Connection refused
Failed to open /dev/initctl: No such device or address
Failed to talk to init daemon.

Also systemctl returns same error.

root@nas316:~# systemctl status apache
Failed to connect to bus: Connection refused

I googled around and try

root@nas316:~# dbus-launch
-bash: dbus-launch: command not found

root@nas316:~# echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
(nothing appears)

I guess dbus-daemon is working though...

root@nas316:~# ps aux | grep dbus-daemon
root      8666  0.0  0.0  17836  1004 pts/0    S+   12:30   0:00 grep dbus-daemon
root     30967  0.0  0.0  40436   404 ?        Ss   Jun13   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=unix:path=/var/netatalk/spotlight.ipc --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation

Is there anything I can do ??
