--- 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 also
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. 

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 system is
unnecessary. Therefore I prefer to add the missing options in "shutdown".


With kind regards
