Summary

'shutdown -c' is supposed to power cycle the system rather than doing a normal
reboot. However, when that fails, it halts the system. This is not quite right
since the intent isn't to halt the system but to restart. Make the default init
behavior be to restart the system. The halt(8) interface can be used if you'd
like to powercycle or halt.
