All the builds are done by re@. I realise that. I am glad to be using it via the Marketplace so that it = enables you and FreeBSD RE to count the popularity of the OS on AWS.

I defer to you and to others who are more experienced than I to answer = this. The =E2=80=98shutdown -h=E2=80=99 behaviour with Amazon Linux and = CentOS on AWS is to power off. However, if reboot is what is supposed to = happen in this case, I will gladly adjust to that, although it feels a = little odd.
