I don't know if reboot is a link to shutdown on your system or not. On
mine, it is a link to halt. A much safer approach is to use the command:
#shutdown now -r
to reboot the machine. The halt command does an immediate er, "halt" (for
lack of a better word) of the system. The shutdown command stops
processes and brings the system down in an orderly fashion.
