https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D280941 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |imp@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #4 from Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> --- Embedded systems sometimes need a reboot this instant functionality. However, that can be bound to a number of other historic interfaces. In our systems at $WORK we have almost no aliases, but we do have "reboot" aliased to "shutdown -r now" This was hashed out maybe 15 or so years ago, and there was only mild suppo= rt for doing something like this at the time. Since then, Linux's way has beco= me more entrenched and the 'reboot right this instant' crowd has gone from sma= ll, but significant minority to almost nonexistant group. Most people tolerate = the behavior, but few strongly support it. I'd suggest that we only do the current behavior when invoked as 'fastboot'= or 'fasthalt'. But I fear it would be a big bikeshed, so that "we" will need to be someone else. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
