From 1dba654b27918c22e413ac5b3c19301f1ff86ad2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennart Poettering Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 04:44:39 +0100 Subject: machinectl: reimplement machinectl's "reboot" verb on top of "kill", and add new verb "poweroff" There's really no point to send the reboot SIGINT from machinectl directly, if machined can do that anyway. This saves code, and makes machinectl network transparent for these verbs. And while we are at it we can easily add a "poweroff" verb in addition to "reboot".
