Be careful to double check what you are testing: in your situation it's
not clear whether /sbin/reboot is a symlink to systemctl (part of
systemd, so I would expect this not to work if you were not running
systemd as the init system) or a separate binary.
Jonathan, I started thinking about lost work where someone restarted the
computer while I was away from it and thought what if you can
lock-screen and lock access to console at the same time. Is that
something that could be done? Helpful?
I know someone can pull the cord or press the power button, I got past that.
