Couldn't it just be an alias : for shutdown -r now?) reboot should be a seprate command. It should, however, cause the shutdown scripts to run unless it is run -f. shutdown implies sending all messages to all users of NFS filesystems, which isn't desirable in many cases. At least that's why my fingers type reboot to this day: On sunos 4.0 (really Solbourne OS/MP 4.0D) in a large company these messages would scare more people than they informed...
