Additional info:

Comment 1 Doug Henderson 2005-05-09 15:22:44 UTC

changed component from SysVinit to usermode as it is /usr/bin/reboot not
/sbin/reboot that causes problem.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2005-05-09 18:43:53 UTC

If you're logged in on the console (this includes X), this is expected behavior.
