Description Stef Walter 2007-06-27 03:10:04 UTC 
When running in a jail or other environment where where init (ie:
process 1) is not running, shutdown should call the reboot/halt commands.
In a jail environment these are often replaced by custom scripts which
handle restarting the jail.

Currently it is possible to call shutdown with the '-o' flag. 

This patch adds adds a fallback if the kill() call fails. The patch also
displays an error message if the kill() call fails for some other reason.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
