Currently, when reboot is invoked with the '-p' command line flag
(powerdown), it performs a shutdown with RB_HALT|RB_POWEROFF.
In some situations, it can be useful to try to perform a poweroff,
but reboot if it fails (e.g. when you are shutting down the system
as a result of a power failure, you want the system to reboot,
*not* stay down, if power was restored after the start of the shutdown
procedure). It would be nice if reboot was changed to pass only
RB_POWEROFF (without RB_HALT) when invoked with '-p'. Of course halt(8)
whould be unaffected and still pass RB_HALT|RB_POWEROFF when invoked
as halt -p.
What do others think of this change:
