I'm happy with it given rsc's observation of the redundant reboot.

I mentioned that it would be nice to have /dev/rebootfile to load a file,
then do kfscmd halt, so we would have a really clean shutdown/reboot
scenario.

It was pointed out that adding another file to #s is hardly a good idea.

So, could we add another command to /dev/reboot?

Currently we have two commands for /dev/reboot
reboot
and
reboot filename

could we add

rebootfile filename

e.g. you could then do this:

echo 'rebootfile /386/test' > /dev/reboot
disk/kfscmd sync
disk/kfscmd halt
echo reboot > /dev/reboot

Is this acceptable?
