Where? In some code not yet written or integrated?
As I see it, reboot at the shell will take you directly to S_startup_reboot.
As we don't have any other method yet (seems we don't even have a sane way
to enter single user mode from multi user), and init does notify_shutdown
there, it should also do the SIGHUP-SIGTERM-SIGKILL from kill_multi_user.
If we had a way to go to single user (do we?), I would also be satisfied
with telling people to enter that before typing reboot, until we have
shutdown.
Thanks,
Marcus
