It was a reboot command, but you need this only if you want to tell the
kernel to reboot in stage 1, use with care

halt is `init 0`, reboot is `init 6`, wall possibly better fits into a
package dealing with login accounting.  killall5.  Ideally there's a
clean process hierarchy, and after taking down all services, all
processes on the system are terminated.  I currently don't know how to
write a cross-platform killall5 that works on all systems runit runs on.
