--- Comment #2 from Bernhard Berger <bernhard@blberger.de> ---
"reboot" does the same thing in name as "shutdown -p -now"!

No, it doesn't, it doesn't call "/etc/rc.shutdown" and that's a big mistake=
 in
my eyes because the programmers of rc.d/scripts assume that their services
which start with "# KEYWORD shutdown" are executed on shutdown (reboot is a=
lso
a kind of shutdown).

Please make sure that "reboot" executes the script "/etc/rc.shutdown". Many
people will "not" read the manual for reboot because the name already says =
what
it does. For me, the inexperienced use of "reboot" has led to some serious
errors and I was very surprised about that.=20

I will not use reboot any more until I am informed that it is running
/etc/rc.shutdown because rebooting two different programs on the same syste=
m is
unnecessary. Therefore I prefer to add the missing options in "shutdown".


With kind regards
