This option is used by shutdown when he wants to reboot the system (shutdown -r ...). The usage of the -l option is to tell reboot(8) not to send any informations about the user that wants to reboot to syslogd(8). Just check the code to know more. >How-To-Repeat: man 8 reboot missing the -l option. edit: /usr/src/sbin/reboot/reboot.c line: 85. >Fix: Add informations about the -l options (no logging) and remove the undocumented part in the source file. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
