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 =
understand you would not get the count otherwise.

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.

Thank you,
