I could say the same about "poweroff", up to the main-n267808-197944948e62
-> main-n267841-0b3f9e435f2b transition.  And I probably wouldn't
have mentioned anything, except that each of the 3 machines (one
headless build machine; 2 laptops) I tested exhibited the same change.

Note, too, from src/sbin/shutdown/shutdown.c:

        /*
         * Test for the special case where the utility is called as
         * "poweroff", for which it runs 'shutdown -p now'.
         */
        if ((p =3D strrchr(argv[0], '/')) =3D=3D NULL)
                p =3D argv[0];
        else
                ++p;
        if (strcmp(p, "poweroff") =3D=3D 0) {
                if (getopt(argc, argv, "") !=3D -1)
                        usage((char *)NULL);
                argc -=3D optind;
                argv +=3D optind;
                if (argc !=3D 0)
                        usage((char *)NULL);
                dopower =3D 1;
                offset =3D 0;
                (void)time(&shuttime);
                goto poweroff;

(So I believe we are referring to the same code paths, whether by
"shutdown -p now" or "poweroff".)

Peace,
david

Do these ends really justify those means?
