'twas me, at least...

If there was a warning, I didn't see it.  And, therefore, it's not much
good.  We can't have PCs rebooting, unexpectedly, while you're in the
middle of typing some document.  At the very least, an auto-reboot
shouldn't happen while anybody is logged in.  Even while nobody is
logged in, it might present a problem for some CRON task that was
running.  Surely there's a better way to schedule a reboot at the first,
best, opportunity.
