I can't answer that, discuss it with the developers of that userspace code please. > Why can't it just rely on the kernel to provide final answer to "to reboot > or not to reboot, that is the question"? Usually you want to do a few things before telling the kernel to reboot, like unmount all filesystems and the like :) Anyway, we are getting away from the code at hand, please, let's discuss that. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
